    I was in Minneapolis today, but I was never on 35W, so I and the other poster here who was in the car with me are fine.

    Joanna -- good to see you're okay!!!

    Shepherd Book -- glad you and your friend missed the incident. Next time you're in town (of if you still are) give me a PM, we'll get together.

    Abandoned lives miles away, it's unlikely he was near the scene.

    ColdRedRain doesn't live over that way, so he probably wasn't in that area either (although I'm not 100% sure).

    When I first glanced at the topic, I thought it said, "Bride Collapses in Twin Cities, MN" I know that some died there, it's terrible, but I had to laugh at myself for misreading the title. I thought, why would someone post an article about a Bride collapsing (fainting), don't these things happen all the time? Then I re-read the title,...oops!

    Hope all of our JWD friends in area are OK and accounted for.

    well just because CRR doesn't live near there, doesn't mean he wasn't near it when it collapsed.. I've never lived in that area but traveled on that bridge a zillion times...

    I haven't heard from any of my cousins.. I'm hoping they are all ok..

    I heard about this this morning.

    I was wondering who of our jwd friends are out there.

    Glad you all have checked in, and it sounds like your friends and family are ok as well.

    well it looks like Abandoned is ok. Haven't heard from him, but I checked his myspace page and it looks like he checked in over there today.

    The most recent numbers are 4 dead, 79 injured and 20 missing.

    Unfortunately some of the missing will probably turn up in the dead count.
