Not really something to joke about, but after seeing this, the first thing I thought was 'Voldemort strikes again'.

I can't even imagine how unbelievably scary that would have been for the people on the bridge.

Luckily most of my friends & family are no where near the Twin Cities, otherwise I'd be worried they could've been caught on that. I hope the NT contingency is all alright :)

How long until someone makes a picture of the bridge with a waving flag and an eagle crying with 8-1-07 "We will never forget!"?

So far only 4 reported dead by the police, but still 20 missing. Thankfully with the repaving and such about 2 of the lanes in both directions were shut down, otherwise, with rush hour traffic there could have been 100-200 cars instead of the 50 they are reporting.
