One of two things happened. Aliens crashed their invisible ship into it, or... God sat on it and broke it.
I can tell you all for a fact, it needed to be replaced. 2 years ago they ran a news story about how Minnesota had a bunch of shitty bridges that needed to be replaced, and that one was one of the big ones.
Can't we get a mix of illegals and H1B visa-types to rebuild this place?
Jethro...
Pay attention now Jethro, I will explain this just once...
Those horrible Iraqis with their mountains of WMD were planning on invading the US. With that in mind, we could spend a trillion over there destroying their WMD or we could fix the bridges.
Wiser heads in Washington, saved us from those horrible people.
But, but, but.....all the nations of the world thought Saddam had WMDs cause we sold him tons of the crapola back in the 80s. OK, so he took out a few Kurdish villages w/some mustard gas, but where did all the other stuff go? I think it's in Indiana, under a rusting bridge. Beware the hacksaw toting Gnome.
