Saturday Marks 8th Anniversary Of I-35W Bridge Collapse

I drove over that bridge a few times. I was in college at the time. I drive over that bridge all the time when I go to my parents house now that it's rebuilt.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – Many Minnesotans are taking a moment Saturday to remember the lives lost in the Interstate 35W bridge tragedy.

Saturday marks eight years since the collapse of the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis.

Thirteen people were killed and 145 others hurt when the bridge fell into the Mississippi River August 1, 2007.

The National Transportation Safety Board cited a design flaw as the likely main cause of the collapse.

Construction began immediately on a new bridge which opened on September 18, 2008.
 
Packie: New England slang for Package Store, aka liquor store. But you knew that ;)

I remember that bridge disaster! Tragic!!
 
I did know that, you're right. :)

Yeah, that was awful. A lot of of us as students drove over that on a daily basis. I didn't - I headed the opposite direction, but knew right where the bridge was. The bridge was only about 5-10 miles from our college. (Minneapolis Business College).

So yeah, that's all students talked about for approximately a week. Classes definitely had a more somber feel.

I remember my Psychology teacher was not quite herself. Her boyfriend was on the bridge at the time it collapsed.
 
Good God that is horrible - did he survive at least, do you know?
 
He did, yes. He was okay, but she was still shaken up about it, just knowing that he was ON the bridge.

He was at the end of the line when it happened, pretty far back. He ended up being okay, though.

I'll remember that day forever, along with 09-11-01.
 
Yea understandably so
 
Okay, enough of that sad stuff. We need something funny! :)

 
There were a couple of people at work that lost friends in 9-11, when the WTC buildings collapsed.
 
I don't know of anyone who lost friends and/or family that day, but I do remember it being a very sad day.

I remember going to bed crying a few nights, just knowing that was possible to our Nation as a whole.

It saddened me greatly. My mother was in Arizona at the time, with my grandmother at the hospital.

She was scheduled to come home on the 12th, but naturally her flight was canceled. I think it was pushed off a day.
 
I remember going outside and seeing F-15 Eagles roaring all over the place. They were scrambled out of Massachusetts. Scary.
 
They were hauling ass down to NYC, over Mach 1.
 
I remember being in either math or science class in 7th grade when they came over the intercom to inform us of what happened. Parents were checking their kids out of school like crazy too
 
You Youngins...not even in High School!!!!!
 
I was 13 - I think. :lol: I was in 8th Grade Choir when it happened.

I'll never forget it. Ever. Rest of the day was awful.

Teachers had it playing on the televisions - no real lessons took place that day.
 
Maybe they're trying to reach a wider demographic?
 
By saying "Pick a Dick?" and talking about her son using a vibrating toothbrush? Might work? :lol:
