Sounds like a two of the 8 construction workers that were on the road up there when it collapsed have survived and were rescued. Be interesting to find out where they were when it collapsed.Have you been in 40 degree water? I'm not saying it isn't possible, but we had to shut down our city pool at 65 degrees when gas was being curtailed because it quickly becomes unsafe below that, and 65 was fkin cold when I was in it.
You fall from that height into mid 40s spring/winter water littered with bridge debris and the odds are highly against you.
So far on Fox, they have blamed the collapse on the border, on Covid shut downs and on recent infrastructure funding.
It really is amazing.
just for context: The 35W bridge collapsed over the Mississippi in Minnesota on Aug. 1, 2007.
The House voted Aug. 3 to spend $250 million to rebuild the bridge. The vote was 421-0.
It passed the Senate by unanimous consent after an amendment was adopted by unanimous consent. House adopted the new version by UC, as well.
The bill was signed into law by President Bush Aug. 6.

good to hear that they more then likely saved a few more lives and this should help rule out any terrorism attack nonsense that’s out there.
statter is a local guy here in arlington who is retired and basically spends what seems like all of his waking hours monitoring emergency response cameras. he routinely posts police car chases, arrests of drunks, and the like.
how many bridges have been taken out in the last 50 years?I’m surprised that large bridges like that don’t have protective pilings around the piers to prevent a direct impact by a large vessel.
That doesn't account for shrinkflation.Mn/DOT announced on September 19, 2007, that Flatiron Constructors and Manson Construction Co. would build the replacement bridge for $234 million.
The I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge was opened to the public on September 18, 2008, at 5 a.m.
It has more to do with haz mat cargo being prevented from going through tunnels. Some can go through, but anything that burns or explodes cannot.I thought I read that trucks can't make clearance in them.

Speaking of things that go down easily...Those are OPs mom level dimensions.
Yeah, that's hard to get out of all the nooks and crannies that at tunnel has if a truck driver watching Season 2 of Stranger Things rolls his truck in it. .or is radioactive.
I hope she doesn’t have to wait over 25 years for all of her bad karma to show up
She’s an idiot but her brainless constituents lap this garbage up.
I once worked on a project for a nuclear pharmacy in the Baltimore area which prepared doses of radioactive contrast imaging agents for hospitals. The pharmacy operation was quite simple compounding (though all of the equipment bore names that were legacies of manhattan project codes). But what was really fascinating was the delivery logistics. Typically, a facility's order would be something like "I need 200 millicuries of technitium sestamibi for 0830 tomorrow," and of course, since the product was decaying once it was compounded, you had to prepare it for higher than that amount and then make certain assumptions in terms of delivery times and decay rates depending on the isotope. And, as noted, the delivery routes and current traffic conditions were a huge part of that, as their trucks could not go through the harbor tunnels. The last room in the facility had a huge monitor showing their truck locations, routes, etc.Yeah, that's hard to get out of all the nooks and crannies that at tunnel has if a truck driver watching Season 2 of Stranger Things rolls his truck in it. .
I was more impressed by the timeline.That doesn't account for shrinkflation.
The government is gonna pay eh.... what a ****ing twat.
The video cuts off before Biden finishes his answer. My guess is the plan is for the federal government to pay up front to get the bridge rebuilt as quickly as possible and then pursue subrogation with the shipping company and any insurance they carry.
That makes the most sense. I guess some want to let the wreckage sit there for years while the process plays out in court.The video cuts off before Biden finishes his answer. My guess is the plan is for the federal government to pay up front to get the bridge rebuilt as quickly as possible and then pursue subrogation with the shipping company and any insurance they carry.
Also have limitations with competing claims. On top of having to prove liabilityThe video cuts off before Biden finishes his answer.
