This is just a note to anyone that knows me that neither I nor Christina was anywhere near the 35W bridge collapse today in Minneapolis. Watching it on the news is jarring though, as I routinely drove over that bridge when I lived in the Cities and was going to the U.
As I see the aftermath on TV, I have the same feeling of “these kind of things don’t happen here” as I did on September 11, 2001. My prayers go out to all who are or will be affected.
Thanks for checking in.
Do you know who is the local doctor whose blog entry describes the immediate aftermath?

It’s a truly heroic story of an individual who did not hesitate to help the victims of the tragic bridge collapse.
