Design Flaw Cited in Deadly I-35W Mississippi River Bridge Collapse






Federal safety investigators are pinpointing steel plates in a main truss as the location where the deadly collapse of a Minneapolis bridge last year began.

We used to live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and one of our favorite pastimes was walking the trails than ran beside the Mississippi River and under the I-35 bridge.

Even back then, the bridge used to make weird cracking sounds during rush hour and you could visibly see it swaying during heavy traffic periods.

I guess it was only a matter of time till it fell....
