Ultradog Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Speaking of 10 years... I posted this on the tractor board this morning. 35W Bridge collapse It was 10 years ago today. I was nearly on it when it happened. I had bought a house just north of Minneapolis and was remodeling it. Was renting a room from a friend of mine in so Mpls and would go up to the house after work every day and get some work done on it. I crossed that bridge both ways. So I stopped by where I was living to grab a sandwich and my friend reminded me it was the 1st of the month and could I give her the rent check. I wrote the check and we chatted for a couple of minutes then I headed out. I was on the freeway just south of the bridge when I saw the huge cloud of dust rise and all the traffic abruptly stopped. Boy what a tangle trying to get out of there. All the emergency vehicles going every which way, streets were clogged, etc. I took a different bridge across the river and made my way up to my house. It took like 2 hrs to get there where it was normally 20 minutes or so. I stayed till about 11 pm to let the traffic die down then wound my way back home. If my friend hadn't asked me for the rent check I'm certain I would have been on the bridge when it fell. I had that old saying in my head for a while after that: There but for the grace of God go I.
