I-35W Bridge Collapse Caught on Tape

[xXGetFucKEDUpXx]

aww mason what did u do again?

[DBR96A]

They're called gusset plates. They weren't big enough to handle the extra load placed on them. Why the fuck does everything have to be a conspiracy?

[TheFriedrichvonSchil]

This is just like the bridge between art and science...we need to rebuild people!

[nikowe123]

my dad was on that bridge just minutes before that tragedy

[Nicolliiee]

woah that was scarrryy

[mtnbiker48]

We all just need to relax. Don't fight over how it happened, who's fault (if any) it was, etc. Just think of everyone who died.

[jocelynandjosh]

The bridge video didn't show anything hardly. Plus, the Pentagon they KNEW was a terrorist event. Who knows what they knew or what threats were made. They had to be very careful.

[Beast9156]

doesn't ANYONE else find it remotely odd that the section in the foreground collapses... seconds pass.. then the back ground section collapses... i mean would it not come down at the same time?!.. that seems like a demolition to me.

[skatehappy]

It did come down at the same time-thats what ppl r finding odd

[Angelique480]

This was so scary. My family and I had just gone over the bridge 10 minutes before it happend!

~~~~PRAY FOR THOSE WHO ARE STILL MISSING~~~~

[gmp0720]

I think it is good to have the videos on here to tell the story...however it's completly rude and heartless people that say things like "sweet that was soooo cool" in a time when everything seems a mess. I live in minneapolis and everyone was affected by it...some more than others. That punk needs to grow up and have a DROP of compassion for what people have lost.

[bondyman42]

i was at the twins game, i was 3 blocks from it, it scared the crap out of me. if it was terrorists they would have attacked the stadium. if i was 20 minutes earlier i might have gone down.

[mnpete1101]

everyone here lives minutes from there and uses it weekly if not daily. Im sick of hearing everyone try and personalize it and say "it was almost me"

[RevHockey75]

you idiots i live 10 minutes from this bridge there was no terrorists attack it was a accident due to the structure

[skatehappy]

u dont know what ur talking about it isnt necessarily the bridge structure-PCI was doing work on the joints where it collapsed as well as the non steel structure part lol. Anyway something that they did or Terry Kramer grinded(he was their subcontractor) could've triggered the collapse

[valandingham1]

I look at the video from beginning to end I noticed that there is a woman who might has see the beginning of the I-35W Bridge Collapse. Investigators should ask this woman what she saw and use her discribes as well as the probable location and estimated speed of the vehicles as determined by the last know location of every vehicle.

[skatehappy]

Yeah reeeeeeeal nice-1. Who is she 2. How would her desribes help anything?? The video cam saw just as much as she did 3.How would she know where every vehicle was located and even if she could how from that angle??? 4. There was construction on the bridge and traffic so how do u get the speeds?? 5. What would these conclusions help anyway?????

[Kowneyn]

8-1-2007(date bridge collapsed) 8+1=9 2007=2+0+0+7=9 9+9=18 =1+8=9 I-35W (the name of the bridge) I(=6 in the touch tone phone) +3 =9 I-35W w=9 on the phone numericals) Minnesota (the state the bridge collapsed) Minnesota consists of =9 letters. 140 cars use to travel -it collapsed after 40yrs =140+40=180=1+8+0=9 612 (area code of where it collapsed Mpls) 6+1+2=9

[jimbo1323]

You have to much time...

[skatehappy]

NO 140,000 cars travel it daily not 140

[Kowneyn]

what is the difference 140,000+40yrs is still -180,000 =180 =9

[lancerbayonet]

sweet that was soooo cool

[Rsarge22]

420 is a magical number, hello youtube bitches of the world

[jimbo1323]

hey!

[chousiself]

Bush said that an arab with a flying carpet fell on the bridge and caused the tragedy. CIA has found his identity: He is from Iran..Now its time for a new party....(God bless American idiots)

[sheidorn]

It also appears that this same area of the bridge showing a cord deformation is where a concrete truck, concrete pump truck, various concrete hoppers, and tons of wet concrete may have been being placed. This along with traffic would be a enormous concentratd load.

[sheidorn]

Watching this video it appears that the lower cord is showing deformation from the first and second panel points south of the northern shore pier. Although the bridge appears to be collapsing from the south side of the river to the north, I wonder if the apparent deformation may have caused pulling strains on the south pier connectons, which ripped them apart and started a domino effect on the entire bridge.

[qwertiness04]

i live right by that and i was at camp... when i got back my dad told me about it

[sonnypwnz]

i live right near it...

[gidoublef]

because no plane hit the Pentagon!! You make a great point like so many others but of course the the goverment controls the media and the media brainwashes the public with bullshit and the public eats it all up except for those who can use their own common sense.

[theeProphet]

one last thing, some eye-witnesses stated the same things, they first saw big white clouds of smoke suddenly, then the rumbling like thunder, and then the bridge went down fast, the whole thing. NOW after the first few hours those testimonies were SILENCED.

[MGR1900]

Shut up.

[theeProphet]

paulrevere, dont be fooled, no video is not proof of no plane crash, just as an example do you have parts of the planes that supposedly hit the twin towers??? no but you have video,,,, have you seen the prophecy in our $20 bill of the towers and pentagon???

[theeProphet]

ive witnessed 2 bridges collapse in my life, and they did not go down level like that from both ends, both went down from one end fully, one went down on the other AFTER the first end was fully down, In demolition I have seen them go down identicle to this one. investigate privately!

[GetCrunk5580]

BECAUSE IT GOT BLOWN TO PIECES YOU insignifiCUNT little faggot

[ttlgphoto]

No because our parents didn't build us a swing set facing a brick wall.

[makerscorp]

no plane in the pentagon, of course

[jocelynandjosh]

some things just happen. Nothing is gaurenteed. We cannot prevent EVERY accident. Why are people bringing the war into this? I am from Mpls. Wasn't this just a structural thing? Hey, we learn as we go. These things may happen now and then. Hopefully we learn from this. If we find out it WAS more than structural, well, we'll take care of that! Bush didn't do this. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard! Religion? The war? C'mon, don't be naive.

[bensonrt]

Shit happens... becuase a choice was made spend tax dollars on something else than maintenance of a 40 year old bridge...

[gidoublef]

Sorry but if you think that this is just a freak accident based on the structure of a 40 year old bridge that was inspected in 2006, your lost. No disrespect

[jamie0409]

gidoublef-

Your correct, it was inspected in 2006, but that doesn't mean it was safe. News has reported that there were problems with the brigde during that inspection that were never fixed that more than likely contributed to the collapse. Don't argue without all the facts my friend.

[gidoublef]

Like you said. The news said it. Who controls the media my friend?

[jamie0409]

Well not the government if thats the track your going down. But even if that is the case, if you sit around and believe the media and government are always lying and hiding things then how we ever going to do anything? I mean we could sit and argue that the news is lying and that the brigde wasn't even inspected in 2006. Unless you plan on getting your hands on the inspection records of that brigde last year arguing that the media is lying and this is all some big conspiracy is a lost cause.

[gidoublef]

if not the goverment then who since you know it's not the goverment. And if we sat around and believe everything you see on TEL-LIE-VISION, we will NEVER be able to do anything about it. All i'm saying is do not believe everything you see and hear. This might be a little to deep for ya based on your response so your right, a lost cause. peace.

[jocelynandjosh]

Exactly. But you COULD be arguing against a bitter spoiled 18 old. I used to hate the media and government when I was young too. Blamed everything on them without proof.

[jocelynandjosh]

See, you're just looking for some other reason. You're really grasping.

[jocelynandjosh]

Yes and didn't you hear that the inspection stated it needed work? They were actually working on it becasue of the inspection. Sheesh. Not everything is a conspiracy.

[bensonrt]

The "Greatest Generation Ever" built us a great country with great infrastructure. Now their children and grandchildren, WE are the CHEAPEST GENERATION are letting everything they built FALL-A-PART!

We waste our National Treasure on foreign folly and shipped the rest to nations that hate us for cheap gadgets and the energy to run them.

[jaromirHC4L]

bush did it!!! its a big conspiracy!!!!bush did it!!! its a big conspiracy!!!!bush did it!!! its a big conspiracy!!!!

[gidoublef]

I do not Think Bush was behind it but I'm not mad at your train of thought. I do believe America is underattack and we have alot of people made at us because of Bush bully tactics in IRAQ. whatever happen to Bin Laden by the way and the weopnons of Mass Destruction?

[woutizmoo]

did some1 say... "owned"??

[T5226]

There is a portion of the bridge that crosses land on each side, and the very middle is above the water.

So some of the bridge his water causing mist, other parts hit dry land causing dust.

[ovthegr8]

worry about the people now, bitch later

[mikebove]

how does this happen! It's rediculous that this bridge was in this bad of shape. Maybe the woman is a ghost?

[Zile77]

I hope my state doesn't elect a Muslim congressman. No telling what might happen in Chicago.

[juicylove]

I never write comments but I was so enraged, I had to speak up. The congressman's religious beliefs have nothing to do with the bridge's collapse. This was a disaster. Why dont you educate yourself, you are so ignorant. Comments like these make me sick. This world will be at peace until people start to respect and be tolerant of others differences. Im not a Muslim but I respect their beliefs. My parents taught me that character is the most important thing, not color or religion. You disgust me.

[ttlgphoto]

You are correct. I think sometimes we forget that any retard can get on the Internet and post their "thoughts".

[gidoublef]

I agree with you but don't take it personal. It's a million and one of those ignorant idiots.

[kapi01ani]

what does that have to do with anything?! stop being an ignorant idiot!

[tjkramer30]

Kind of wierd that there was dust comming from under the bridge when it fell into the water. There is only dust from concrete when its shattered or blown up. When it breaks as in a collapse there would only be a bit of rocks and debris from the concrete NOT dust. Somethings up guys.

[meatshieldhax0r]

That is water mist I'm guessing from when it hit the water. Also, there must be built up dirt under the bridge, when it hit the water it must have caused immense pressure in the tight areas under the bridge pushing the dirt out at high speed into the air.

[project2501a]

@meatshieldhax0r no no no no, DO NOT APPLY YOUR LOGIC HERE! IT IS ALL A CONSPIRACY! I WANT TO BELIEVE!!1

[L8Apexz]

There are large portions of this bridge that are not over water. The dust is from the concrete breaking up and being pulverized. "When it breaks as in a collapse there would only be a bit of rocks and debris from the concrete NOT dust"???? There absolutely is. The world trade center's concrete being pulverized was nothing but dust. No conspiracy, just concrete & steel collapsing on the ground and in the water, that's all.

[xxcurnuxx]

@tjkramer30 Your hallucinating, I don't see shit.

[yamahonda750]

@tjkramer30 Seriously? Are you a victim of brain damage or tardfuckery? A FUCKING BRIDGE COLLAPSED!!! That means that the water spray that you make when you bellyflop, while everyone laughs at your fat ass, IS MULTIPLIED BY TEN FUCKING MILLION TIMES!!!! IT BECOMES A FUCKING MIST!!!! HOLY FUCK WHAT IS WRONG WITH IDIOTS LIKE YOU????

[Apocalyptikai]

@yamahonda750 Literally the Best comment I've ever read on YouTube. Like... I'm dead serious. I'm not being sarcastic. i LOVE U

[abbybabby25]

i have feel bad for the people who have lost people in this bad bridge. I wanna take a moment of silecne for the people who we're lost.

[Idolmakercat]

Does anyone know this woman crossing in front of the camera? She seems pretty frantic the first time she passes by then my calm the second time. Where is this camera?

[desperategirl932]

there's camera's everywhere these days. the woman was probably just standing near it talking on her cell when the bridge collapse and it frightened her as if bin Laden was coming to get her, then she realized it was just a bridge that fell and she went back to her conversation. just my assessment given the evidence.

[somer2007]

My guess is this: This woman was the first to get out of the water. Pretty fast huh? Then she realized, well since I'm very fast, let me go back and help the others...

[Idolmakercat]

This woman was on the news tonight. She was the first person to actually call in the bridge collaspe . She was calling 911. She just happened to be in front of this servallance camera.

[StevieT]

This camera is located at the lock and dam. An army corps employee leaked it. there is a traffic camera located at 35W and Washington overlooking this bridge. I'm sure that video will be released some day.
