Bridge falls in Minneapolis.

No, I don’t know any more than you. I just have a random thought that popped into my head. Looking at the failure, and listening to what some people on scene have reported to hear and feel, there were only two words that came into my mind.

Tacoma Narrows.

And looking at it and listening to an engineer on TV now, there’s another two words.

Mianus River.

If it was structural, that second one is more apropos.

My condolences to anyone who lost a loved one in the collapse.
