this was a great video. its been 2 years but i think everyone in minnesota will remember it forever. people say it wasnt that big of a deal but it really was. to the families that lost someone in this it will always be the biggest tragedy of their lives.

i was on the bus. i was 11 when the collapse happened. i was scared for my life. i will never forget any of it. i was lucky enough to come off the bus EXTERNALLY unscathed but some of my friends weren't as fortunate as me. although i was externally unscathed, i will always be INTERNALLY scathed.

i'm with you in the fact that it is hard to believe that it was almost 2 years ago. i still remember what happened as if i were reliving the moment. it was very terrifying! :((((((

It is so hard to believe that this happened two years ago....

I still remember when it happened...

I was sitting at home..... and my dad came in really worried. He asked where my mom was. I didn't know what had happened yet. So I changed to the news... and saw what had happened....... I was terrified, and just started to pray. Luckily, my mom was somewhere else, and all of us are still here, safe. I pray for all who lost their lives,and who were hurt, on this awful day. I will never forget it.

We lost a friend on the bridge that day and we almost lost half of our family that was just a few vehicles back from the collapse. My wife know the woman lost on the bridge and told me the sad story of what brought her to Minnesota, she came here to be with a new boyfriend, shortly after arriving he left her. She stayed and became a loved member of the White Bear community, she was a dancer and a beautiful person, very giving and kind. This was our 911 and we will never forget this tragedy.
