Alive and Well in Minneapolis
It's not everyday that Matt Lauer comes to town. Sadly, he's here in Minneapolis to cover the collapse of the 35W bridge. At this point, the morning after, it doesn't feel like Lauer and crew are saying anything we didn't already hear last night. As you can imagine, last night all channels were all bridge all the time.A family member - one of Quang's cousins - was on the bridge in her car when it collapsed. She swam to shore and was treated at a local hospital. Her car's a gonner. She is hurt but will thankfully be fine.
It is quite a scary scenario to imagine. That is a bridge I've crossed countless times. Of course, once you get home and are safe on your own couch watching the coverage you start to recount, "I just drove on that bridge last Thursday."
"I tried to get on that bridge Tuesday night, but the on ramp was closed for construction."

I am soooo glad you are ok. I was worried about you and all your family!!!! Thank goodness you guys are all fine. :) My thoughts are with everyone in Minneapolis!
OMG, so glad you are okay. I can't believe Quang's cousin was on the bridge and had to swim to shore! Aging infrastructure - with the steam pipe explosion in New York City and now this... Scary.
