MINNEAPOLIS - Divers checked submerged cars in the Mississippi River Thursday for a count of victims still trapped beneath the twisted steel and concrete slabs of a collapsed bridge. As many as 30 people were reported missing as the rescue effort shifted to recovery.
Gov. Tim Pawlenty also ordered an immediate inspection of all bridges in the state with similar designs.
The official death count from Wednesday evening’s collapse stood at four Thursday morning, but Police Chief Tim Dolan said more bodies were in the water. Hospitals officials said 79 others were injured.
“We know we do have more casualties at the scene,” Dolan said, though he said he did not have a number. “We have a number of vehicles that are underneath big pieces of concrete, and we do know we have some people in those vehicles.”
It was strange too that I was told last night the city is closing down the road to my apartment to do some hardcore work on the very small bridge that spans penny creek. I wonder if its in reaction to this or just coincidence
