The Interstate 35W bridge, a major link between Minneapolis and St. Paul, was in the midst of being repaired when it collapsed.
"There were two lanes of traffic, bumper to bumper, at the point of the collapse. Those cars did go into the river," Minneapolis Police Lt. Amelia Huffman. "At this point there is nothing to suggest that this was anything other than a structural collapse."
6 people died.

Harv, only a couple blocks from where we met up with Tarlem!


The hotel he stayed at is actually the emergency family center. What a tragedy.
