Yikes! I guess it stands to reason that rush hour would be the time it gives way, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Shit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Juliana, texts are getting through. Takes less bandwidth.

Boy, is that a flashback to Katrina.

Good God. You just don't think of that kind of thing happening when there's not a quake or a hurricane or something.

Or terrorism.

Boy, is that a flashback to Katrina.

And 9-11. But that's why I texted my friend.

Damn. A witness said there was bumper-to-bumper traffic, and at least a 100 cars were on the bridge.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Good god. How does a bridge like that just fucking fall down? I hope there were no casualties, but that seems horribly unlikely. The photos are frightening.

That's what I'm wondering. There were construction crews working on the bridge before it collapsed, but they were just resurfacing it, so that shouldn't affect its structural integrity.

This will probably go down in history as a major engineering fuckup....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yikes on bridges disappearing out from under you. When one of the tunnels of the Big Dig dropped its roof last year, at least it had the grace to do it late at night. (Actually, I mean, it fell right onto a car and killed a woman, but, it was only one piece of ceiling and only one car.)

On a lighter note, because I am autistic:

Dozens of vehicles were scattered and stacked on top of each other amid the rumble.

...the Associated Press is skimping on their copyediting again.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Well, it only fell down that one time.
