The scary thing is my sister's man would have been on the bridge at about that time if they hadn't moved a month ago..She's worried that some of her professors from the University were traveling on it..Fucking nuts..Here's footage of the collapse..

I have driven over that bridge many times..... scary.

I live about an hour south of mpls and if I ever wanted to go to the U of M that is the bridge I would cross. Traffic is going to be a damn mess there until it gets fixed, I heard 100,000 cars traveled it daily.

it is sad. whoever wants to watch that footage is horrible. its a horrible thing. and i refuse to watch it. same thing goes with the riot video where the guy gets the shit beat outta him. why would someone want to watch things like that?!

Yeah the news was all over it yesterday. Some of the fooage they showed was rediculous. I swear I saw them covering a body with a white tarp on live TV. The link to the video shown is from a traffic cam and only really shows the bridge just falling down, you can hardly make out that there are cars on it.... crazy shit.

Then I guess I'm horrible..:rolleyes: It's actually quite fascinating..The bridge was there, and then all of a sudden it was falling! You don't even see any of the cars..And if there was never any video of these horrible things happening, how would we ever learn what happened? Why are you so judgmental? Now, someone on a Beck board that I visit posted a recording of Jim Jones of the Jonestown Massacre telling his followers to make their kids drink poisoned Kool-Aid and apparently you can hear them dying..I chose not to listen because I know it would absolutely crush me..But I'm not going to judge anyone who did because it's all part of history..Whatever..

Beedun, I didn't see any footage of anything resembling a dead body, thank goodness..I remember being horrified that some stations were showing people jumping out of windows on 9/11..I'd rather see footage of the bystanders that jumped into the Mississippi to help people who fell in..:)

but why would you want to watch a thing like that?

poobs, you're right.

it is kind of cool.
but sad.



i like to watch things on TV about 9/11.
i think it's neat to see what happened..

but it's gay that they did that.
and it's sad.

i guess u guys are right in a way.. but i still refuse to watch that kind of stuff.

beedun - 8-3-2007 at 02:16 PM

It was on local news and I only saw it once. While I can't confirm that it was indeed a body I have to wonder what else would get wrapped in a white tarp.....

i dont like the news. theres always bad things on there. i was watching it for 5 minutes today then i saw something about an actors dog killing the guy that was taking care of it or something. the news only brings pain and sorrow.
