THE NEXT DISASTER. Just a couple hours ago a bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota collapsed during rush hour, as anywhere from 50-100 cars were driving over it. So far, at least three people are dead and rescue efforts will be underway into the night, even as storm weather approaches.

Undoubtedly, this means a long investigation to find out why this happend, but there's no evidence of intentional harm or terrorism.
