First Look: Bridge Disaster (CBS News)

[kSAueRR]

I live in Minnesota and we need to start spending money and improving our own country rather than Iraq, Iran and God knows where else.

[TheBluescollector]

I have to wonder why cities spend so much on new sporting arenas if thier bridges are in such bad shape.

[MegaMouseSEC]

@TheBluescollector The problem is that to bring p[eople to the city they must spend money ion things that will bring the public. The politicians never think of how people will get into or out of the cities, they just think of how much in taxes they will get for their pockets when the tourists come.

[angelXdream18]

that suck...quit spending money on iraq and start spending money on rebuilding your own country!

Our daughter was on the bridge. There was no secret conspiracy, just a very open committment by the governor and his lieutenant governor who was also commissioner of transportation to cut taxes and state budgets regardless of what had to be neglected. Several studies showed the bridge needed maintenance. Rather than do what was recomended the state decided to do patchwork fixes. The engineering flaw of the thin gusset plates eventually brought the bridge down. Nice job, Tim Pawlenty.

This bridge collapse on the video was actually a Government inside job staged by the government and then Pres. George W Bush in preperation for the NWO takeover!!!

[luvabeatle]

@sexyones09 You're stupid!

[flargmuffin92]

We drove over that bridge three days before it collapsed

[rokon234]

@flargmuffin92 ya i went over that bridge also like a week before it colllapsed

[MrSomal84]

this is a disaster

[richysst]

it very sad for all and the people who were killed hope that it never happens over .

[Uniq12u]

I thought the Minnesota Department of Roads was primarily responsible for maintaining that bridge.

[Uniq12u]

If this bridge failed during peacetime, or with a Liberal or Progressive president in office, would you still be complaining? Minnesota DOT is more responsible for this than the federal government and its figurehead.

[toxicity132]

i live in minnesota this isnt a central problem these bridges arent built anymore for their structural defincincy so quit ridin bush i kno thatthe my government has been that bridge almost yearly it was a bad bridge and it was an accident u all need to quit puttin ur problems with ur government on bush damn

[luckyronjo]

[zataraz]

The american government is more into buying bullets than to take care of its citizens......that is why everything is breaking apart.

[cupid1984]

perhaps president bush should stop spending billions on war and start fixing his backyard problems.

[veryrichsaudi]

OMG

[jmaga01s]

Less war more infrastructure! Ah

[cupid1984]

perhaps president bush should stop spending billions on war and start fixing his back yard problems. Innocent civilians are the ones counting the cost.

[modestfranz]

This kind of stuff should not still be happening. Dammit.
