As most of the world knows, the bridge over 35W collapsed last night. My neighbor, Craig, told me when he stopped by on the way to go out to dinner, and we spent the night in front of the television at a local restaurant, calling friends and relatives to make sure none of them were involved.
One friend crossed the bridge a few minutes before the accident, and another was on his bicycle a few blocks away, but that's it so far. I'm thankful for that.
So far, the loss of life appears to be surprisingly low for such a major catastrophe, and the reports from the scene indicate people stayed relatively calm, resilient and helpful. Their efforts are admirable, and my heart goes out to those who lost friends and loved ones in this tragedy.
