Yesterday evening during rush hour (6 p.m.) the 35W highway bridge over the Mississippi River near my house unexpectedly collapsed!
About 50-60 cars, trucks, and a full school bus crashed down into the river and onto the banks. Amazingly, only 6 people were killed, but many more injured, and the whole city is shaken. Just the day before I was on that bridge during rush hour, so I could well imagine the horror.
Rescue efforts continue today, though no hope is given to any victims in submerged autos. Some may still be trapped underneath the bridge structure and as many as 30 people are still missing. All of the children in the school bus escaped with minor injuries.
Lord, hear our prayers!
