On Bridges

Via Slog, here's the video of the Minneapolis 35W bridge collapse. Looks like it just went WHUMP. No warning.

Of course you immediately think of the Viaduct, but the 35W bridge is a steel truss bridge, just like the I-5 Ship Canal bridge. And the Ship Canal bridge is six years older (it was finished in 1961, 35W in 1967).

The Alaskan Way Viaduct, made of reinforced concrete bridge, opened in 1953.

We don't know about you, but we're going to get some lucky dice to hang on our rear-view and quick.
