MINNEAPOLIS - A freeway bridge spanning the Mississippi River collapsed during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending many cars into the water.
Tons of concrete collapsed and there were injuries, authorities said. Survivors were being carried up the riverbank.
Some people were stranded on parts of the bridge that weren't completely submerged.
The entire span of the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed about 6:05 p.m. where the freeway crosses the river near University Avenue in Minneapolis.

Yes. It happened at 6:15 PM. It was The bridge on I-35W. I have driven over that bridge many times. I feel so sad for the people that were driving on the bridge when it happened. Rescue workers are on the scene and their is no word yet about injuries or fatalities. I live in St. Paul.

Thank God the deaths are not as high as originally anticipated. Can you imagine being on the bridge and having that happen? It would make me nervous for life.

I hadn't, but thank you for posting it.
I live in St. Paul and grew up in Mpls. We don't have a TV, so I hadn't heard anything. I called my husband to let him know when he comes home from work.

Yes I have! That is why I'm terrified of going on bridges!

It's really strange, because it's not only one part but a whole bunch. I hope many people are able to get out.
