The Minnesota Bridge Collapse

What a shocking news story!  A 40-year-old bridge in Minneapolis suddenly collapses underneath bumper-to-bumper traffic at 6:05 p.m. local time last night.  I used to live in Eagan Township not too far from there in the early 70's, and I know I've traversed that bridge a number of times.  That's about the extent of my personal link to the incident, but something like that does always give one pause to realize how unpredictable life can be at times.
