iloveboxcars Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 ugh, i stopped by my parents house today to use their fax and this shit was on all the news channels. they asked like 4 different witnesses what they saw and every single time they pretty much said "i heard a loud noise, then i went outside and there was a huge cloud of smoke" yo, STOP IT. what kind of bullshit news reporting is that? update us every once in awhile and move on. that shit was on there the full 30 minutes i was there.

iloveboxcars Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 oh and they also mentioned it might be from a terrorist organization. are you kidding me? terrorists decided that some random HIGHWAY bridge was the place to get us where it hurts? maybe they are just doing the "aftershock" of 9/11.. you know, sort of like an earthquake. i swear people are fucking retarded. i am so angry at people right now.

skullnbones Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Cheers Mamerro, that photo really emphasises the catastrophic status. Wholly shit. Haha, it looks like a bunch of cars have stopped on the bridge that is still standing. A bit wary about crossing it maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrChupacabra Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I just headed out of town today for a vacation, and at about 630 i got a text from a friend asking if i was ok since i live up in that area, so i flipped on the news and saw this shit. Absolutely insane. I'm amazed the death count is only up to 6, lets just hope it doesn't continue going up as the night progresses. The traffic routing through the area and onto the other highways is going to be fucking miserable for years to come because of this. I'm not looking forward to even more backed up/under construction highways in minnesota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IOU Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 i don't get why they thought it was a terrorist attack, i mean, come one no right minded terrorist would blow up a bridge in Minneapolis. that sucks though. The first reports I heard on ABC, NBC and CBS all said it wasn't a terrorist attack.. These were the L.A. stations.. That was the first thing I was listening for.. FYI.. ABC was first.. CBS second and NBC third on reporting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackboatshoes Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 i was at work, and some guy came in talking about this, and everyone was like what? he said something about a terrorist attack, and such. needless to say, i found out when i got home the whole story, or most of it.

Ferris Bueller Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 This shit is wild. I drive over that bridge on almost a daily basis, but I've been avoiding it during rush hour since construction began. Now 94 is going to be a parking lot for years to come. All 200,000 of those cars that cross daily are going to have to go somewhere else. Fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire15 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Alright we all know what really happened. Or do we... QUICK CASKEK. WHY DID THE GOVERNMENT BLOW THE BRIDGE THE UP?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogie hands Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 seriously, from all of the news coverage this is getting you would think this bridge collapse actually pertained to people outside of the handful of victims families and commuters in minneapolis. this would be a good day to blow up a school full of children in iraq.

Some1 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Well they blew up an ice cream parlor full of people in iraq yesterday and some dude blew up his gas tanker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
