Bookmark topic
US emergency teams are searching for bodies a day after a bridge over the Mississippi river collapsed, killing a number of people.
At least four people are confirmed dead with up to 30 missing. US officials are not linking the collapse to terrorism.
Some 50 vehicles were hurled into the water when part of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota, gave way during the rush hour on Wednesday evening.
Rescue officials said they expected the death toll to rise.
Minneapolis police chief Tim Dolan said people were still trapped inside vehicles and the recovery effort would take at least three days.

The latest count is 70 dead according to the San Franciscan Chronicle.
Shocking! It was during the rush - hour too.

The incident is being treated as suspicious.
I think it may have been on purpose.
Bridges dont just fall. The rubbel looks like it was exploded with a satchel charge

I heard 5 dead and up to 20 missing. I also heard that the bridge was in need of repair since 1990 and that a full restoration was scheduled for 2020. Guess they'll have to bring that forward.
My condolences to the families of the dead and injured.
