Prayers in Minnesota - Bridge Tragedy

Ryan, don't post if you're not in a good shape. You don't have to post in every topic, you know.

...because that's Brian's job!

And I think he meant that he'd be upset if people sig that, but eh. It's already sigged.

Nah, I don't think this is terrorist's work; the terrorists I know would make big announcement, or something of that sort. *shrug*

Fine, fine. I can see I've got a reputation to uphold.

Toxicity, I think the big deal with this is that it's brought our vulnerability to our attention. Like a lot of people have said, many bridges are in far worse shape than this one was... who knows what could happen if they aren't fixed? The "it could've been me" philosophy really applies here.

And the other issue is that it was a major flashback to 9/11. The mere fact that so many people seriously considered terrorism a possibility for so long shows how much this was a shock to the system.

I cant believe you guys, this is a prayer topic. People died and the only thing you can think of is using it as another excuse to get at who you have feuds with on the board. Grow up, people in the area of Minnesota that this happened in would probably give anything to only have to worry about the silly problems you guys have with each other, but no, they have to deal with something a whole lot worse. The fear and apprehension associated with a tragety in which they dont know whether or not their loved ones will live, the fate and location of those lost under the river, and they have to deal with the fact that this could happen again with another bridge. Can you imagine losing someone you care about to a bridge falling? Youd never know if being on or under a bridge would be safe again, and your mind would reel with possibilities, "If only they were a few minutes late driving to work", "If only they took a different road", "If only someone had inspected the bridge more carefully", for all the If onlys, people could have still been alive, but it happened, so have a lil decency.
Acting like animals, using a tragedy to make a point about the government, thats disgusting no matter who does it, so please guys think a lil before you go off on personal feuds x.x
