Those of you who know that I live in Minneapolis, don't worry about me. We were on our way home when the Mississippi River bridge fell down, but we weren't on that route, although it was one of the routes we could have taken. (When the collapse happened, there were workers on the bridge repairing the surface, and some other construction going on nearby... and we try to avoid routes that are under construction, because of the traffic.)
For what it's worth, we don't think it was sabotage. My husband, who's into physics and chemistry, thinks that it could've been caused by a malfunction of the heater that they were using in repairing the bridge surface... and the reason it collapsed during rush hour instead of some quieter time is probably because of all the extra weight of cars on the bridge.
