A lady where I work was on the bridge when it collapsed and went into the river. She had a car with manual windows, so she rolled down the window, climbed out and swam to safety. I don't know her, so I didn't talk to her personally, but that's what others there are saying.

A guy I work with was on a bridge that is very near the 35W bridge when it collapsed and saw it happen. Very frightening!

Here's a video of it collapsing...http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/....side.view.cnn

and some more pictures...http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/02/bri...rpt/index.html

I still can't believe this happened.
