    Its now 4 confirmed dead and 30 missing, they also fear that those two numbers would have to be combined since its now a recovery effort and not rescue.

    A simmilar thing but on a smaller scale happened in Quebec a few months ago, this will cause bridges everywhere to be looked at again.

    It's no surprise really - stress related fractures on structures as old and well used as this bridge are really nothing new.

    It's just a shame it takes a collapse to get things to happen

    This is a very terrible thing to have happened, and you know there is going to be a lot a lot of lawsuits aimed at whoever is found to be guilty of the neglect or not inspecting the bridge or whatever caused it. It's scary to think that we all cross bridges nearly everyday and you don't give it a second thought that it could fall out from underneath you.

    Condolences.

    Minn. bridge problems uncovered in 1990 - Yahoo! News

    The bridge has had corrosion problem since 1990....
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
