    I just saw the coverage on TV, and it's pretty dramatic :eek:
    The people who stayed just on the edge (without falling) are the only bright side.

    I live here, it's a tragic event but the community is responding with open hearts and lots of people are going to the hospitals to donate blood.

    Latest news is 7 fatalities, 38 injuries. Officials say bridge wont be rebuilt and finished for years.

    I drive ~2-3 miles over the limit and other drivers go nuts to get around me ASAP.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    It could have been much worse.
    Many people in the area are lucky to be alive tonight.

    ps. "Yes" someone driving really fast might also have missed the tragedy, but slower is better (many Americans drive really crazy)

    I don't believe they have retrieved all the cars that fell into the river yet, though I may be wrong.
