news of this reached the international wires early this morning. thoughts and prayers going out to all affected by this tragedy. shades of the overpass in Laval, Qc last october. these structures are not getting any younger and most were built by the LOWEST bidder...thinkaboudit

With the speed of the mississippi river, bodies could be miles downstream by now. Now I believe it is 5 or 6 confirmed dead and an estimated 8 people still missing.
