Minnesotans?   Message List

Re: [bigtenvb] Minnesotans?

I was actually in the Cities visiting my sister who works for the Twins when one of the VPs came running through their offices telling everyone to turn on the TV, that 35W fell into the river. “What did he just say?” Needless to say, it was crazy at the Metrodome that night with stories of people who had just crossed over the bridge (including a grandmother with her five grandkids) wondering what was going on and people reuniting in the concourse. Thankfully, everyone that we both know up there is fine, although one of her co-workers stopped five feet short of going over the bridge as it was collapsing.

I was actually flying into MSP that night from New York and could see the effects of the incident from the air.  Saw some of the smoke from what were burning cars.  Couldn't quite tell what had happened, exactly; I thought a building might have caught fire.  But when I got inside the terminal at about 7:30 PM every TV monitor was showing the collapse...tragic and awful.

I'm glad to be able to say that I don't know of anyone who was involved.

I know  you might have better things to do right now than post to a  volleyball group, but Twin Cities folks, when you can drop the list a note to  let us know you and friends/family are OK.  
 
 
 
Sympathy and solidarity,
