        Right. No bridges to there. Swamp buggies.

            Ouch, that looks bad, but seriously - can't you do something bad to your news reporters ? Idiotic statements such as :

            BBC, News, BBC News, news online, world, uk, international, foreign, british, online, service


            Chris O'Connell, a Minneapolis reporter, told the BBC: "It is a very chaotic scene here. To call this a catastrophe would be an understatement.
            is simply meaningless.
            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

              American reporters always make things seem worse because they think people will be more interested.

                  Seven reported dead now with likely more to come, people were very lucky indeed that the normal four lanes had been cut to only one, or injury and loss of life would have been far far higher.
                  Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

                    You'll be glad to know that there were only a quarter the usual number of overweight Americans on the bridge for the reason I gave earlier - so obesity is not the reason the bridge collapsed.

                        It sounds like it was the reason the bridge was cut to 1 lane that caused it to crash...

                          How so? Was it unbalanced because the weight was no longer evenly distributed?

                          Surely that is a design flaw if that is the case.

                            Bummer. Just heard about this. We got an email from corporate communications about it (we have offices in St. Paul).

                            The trick isn't to break some eggs to make an omelette, it's convincing the eggs to break themselves in order to aspire to omelettehood.

                              Maybe somewhere in all that runaway spending would have been some money for bridge maintenance.

                              This just shows how inept al Qaeda. If I were its Minister of "Information," I would have already issued a statement like: "This bridge colllapse is proof that, as long as America continues its evil ways, it will suffer the wrath of Allah." (It sounds like claiming responsiblity, but not really)

                                Much of this country's infrastructure is need need of a good, thorough renovation. Can't do that when the Republicans are demanding government be drowned in a bathtub.
