So the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed during rush hour. They said on the news that there were probably 50-100 cars fell into the Mississippi river.
I guess this makes my 2hr commute today not seem so bad |

it was probably just a cell phone strapped to a block of cheese that tricked the bridge into collapsing.

ok...so this is sad right? I mean people on their commute minding their own business and all...
but it's "an act of god" type incident. some weird shit happens that is filed under "an act of god" and it's just the way the world works. shit like huge mudslides and whatnot... but the media in all their glory is making this out to be as disasterous and tragic as 9/11. the fuck ever man...I only WISH 9/11 was this fresh on everyone's minds... |

they'll blame the engineers, concrete manufacturers, contractors, etc.
or if they find it was a bomb... they'll blame the engineers, concrete manufacturers, contractors, etc, for not building a bomb proof bridge. |

Video of the collapse... I will say this, the infrastructure of this country has slowly been going down the pot over the last 30 years. The freeway system, the rail system, etc. all suffer from deteriorating conditions. I think of it this way. In the 60's and 70's we were going to the moon, now we're struggling to put people in orbit. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
