Bridge Collapse in Minnesota Metro

The good news is that Homeland Security has said there is no reason at this point to assume that the disaster was related to terrorist activity. Also, the FBI has offered assistance in the investigation of the I-35W bridge collapse.

The bad news is that dozens of vehicles, including at least one school bus, were on the bridge when it went down, a few minutes after 6:00 local time today.
