08/01/07 Minneapolis I-35w Bridge Collapse News Video B-Roll

*** Not For Broadcast ***
This is some of the aftermath footage I shot of the I35w or Interstate 35w Bridge collapse. I shot this from the north side of the i35 bridge looking back to the south side or down town Minneapolis side of the bridge. Shows the huge size of the devastation from end to end of the Mississippi river from Dinkytown to downtown Minneapolis. I have a lot more footage posted on google video but was limited to what Youtube would let me upload in one package. I was on scene right after the disaster and was able to get a rare vantage point until police kicked us out of the area in fear of additional collapse.

do they still believe it just rusted apart, or ............sabatoge?

[bnvn1]

Now there saying it rusted and trying to blame the state Dept Of Trans. It went from Sabatoge to being a shitty management at the state for repairs.

[openbrains]

oh, is there something unique about this bridge? can we expect it on other bridges

[bnvn1]

Yeah, it's rusty, it's old, and it was build by the lowest bidder.

i almost went on that brigde until we took a wrong turn and got lost, good thing we didnt have a gps.

[MNHockeyRulz]

Wow your lucky :)

[GibsonElectricI]

also are you a vikings fan? just out of curiosity?

[jake97760]

Dont worry. The over paid state bureaucrats got their wages first then for some reason couldnt figure out how to get the cash to fix this bridge before it killed a bunch of people. Ever notice its years back and not one state bureaucrat is held responsible yet we know they had to discuss it and decided to just let it go . . . I love socialists.

[freakyflow]

if it rusted apart does that mean the tax payers get there money back for "mantance fees" ? or everytime you go by a toll booth they pay you?

[Landotter1]

[geertwildersful]

[FFbosmoe]
