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.
Dying for old bastards, and their old money, isn't my idea of freedom.

That's what I was hearing, although I didn't do any research to get that info, and that it was a 40 yr old bridge ... due for replacement in 2020.
But I guess we're (they're) going to beat that timeline now.
I still want to get a 'truthers' perspective; last year (or a few years back) word had it that some C4 was stolen from a feebee office there in Minneapolis .. .
I'm not sure. I think it does follow I-35, at least it does through Texas, but I'm not sure how far north it goes or how closely it follows the original road.
My point was that EdCondom's post was a way to conduct a cheap attack on the truthers without going so far as to address their argument - basically something at the level of a Republican smear. I don't follow the truther stuff closely and it was even offensive to me.
Isn't there a "4 football wide" NAU SUPER HIGHWAY COMING THROUGH THERE SHORTLY?
Yes.
I noted a couple of remarks on the coverage this morning. Paraphrasing:
1) One said, I heard a BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. As we were falling, a boom.
2) One of the police officials giving the organizational update said, we are not sure what caused the bridge to come down. We are treating this as a crime scene, as well as a recovery, but it will be slow and deliberate, to collect forensic data.
On a side note, some guy on MSNBC (Craig Crawford?) said, that the federal officials aren't the only ones to blame... the taxpayers themselves rather spend money to build a ball park, then to fix the bridge.
You know, in this case, I find that hard to believe. Rather have a ballpark, sure, but knowing the bridge is a timebomb, and they might just be on it when it goes......... please... voters, taxpayers, expect that infrastructure is a known priority, and they pay for it's maintenance already.

I'd rule this out. The aliens remain above Canada with their cloaking device on full power.
I was sure they were at a Denny's somewhere in Florida. ;)

I predict one of the surveillance videos will show what could be construed as a Gnome with a little hacksaw sneaking away.
:) Anything is possible. Just look for critters that resemble Wolfowitz. ;)

Not sure about Denny's. They skip breakfast entirely after that bad IHOP experience a few years back.
LOL!!

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.
Can't we get a mix of illegals and H1B visa-types to rebuild this place? Much like the ancient Romans before the Goths turned on them.
They're probably on a bus heading North right now. We wouldn't want the jobs going to citizens. Kraft Foods is laying off 4800. Micron another couple hundred. There's 5K to get the ball rolling.

NO NO NO NO NO CYNI !!
Stuffing the Tribe greasers pockets with MILLIUONS was becoming TOO TIRING...
the whole thing needed to be speeded up so they could enjoy their new 9th Resort Homes on the Sunny South China Beaches they now own as tight as Boca Raton!
Thus the ABSOLUTE NEED for Die Heimat Security and the I Arr A Q schtick from Boy Jorge and his NeoCon-Trotsky European Banking Masters now owning the US as the real and shadow government.
Expect more of the same in spades with the anointing and coronation of the screenwriter's lead idea and the Tribe's shill Hitlery, The Murder Mistress.

Hells bells Calamity ! Give them a break dammit!
They just took down the damned bridge and haven't had time to finish the NAU Drug Highway.
The Commander guy is on the tube now. Real sorry 'bout that sitcheation out there in Minnniappolish. Federal government gonna help with rescue and, getting folks out there, well, uhhhhhhhhh....somethin somethin. But let me say that Congress needs to act on my war fundin bill. Them Democrats won fair and skware, somethin somethin... running up the deafcit...'merican people need, blah blah... balance the budget in five yearsh...

I'm sorry. I blame my ears. 'I' wasn't listening, my ears were off running amok again. I will have a talk with them.

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.
I just heard Norm Coleman mention he was mayor on 9/11, and we need to make sure that all of America's bridges are repaired.
Sniff. Smell that rat? I suspect 9/11 will be the cover to get that beast built. Remember a little while back when that truck blew up on some bridge in the San Francisco area (or Oakland). I don't remember a big stink about America's bridge integrity being lifted to such notice. This bridge, is way more importante'.

The TSA is going to take all the bridge rubble and try to rebuild it somewhere, to see if they can determine what caused the failure.
A person commented on CNN (I think it was a structural engineer), that he can not imagine, HOW, two ends of the bridge came down at the same time.
There was some jackhammer work on one side of the river, that might have contributed to 'vibrations', but, an investigation was needed to determine if the jackhammer work was specifically around, or close to, critical connectors (? bridge talk) that may have caused/contributed a span failure.

Another day with something else on the front page is a good day for the regime.
So true.
My inner cynic is really throwing a fit today. ;)
