![]() | During rush hour traffic last night 6:08 PM. More than 50 cars into the river; 4 dead, and 30 still missing. A school bus with 60 kids plunged down; everyone got out only two with minor injuries. The 4-lane bridge was being repaired; two lanes were shut down.

![]() | It will be under investigation; hopefully the reason will be known a year from now. They are digging bodies now; there may be cars buried under the concrete which is under water. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20085333/?GT1=10252

![]() | My prayers go out to the victims and their families. We had an overpass collapse in Laval, Quebec last year, killing 5 people, but this one is much worse. |

![]() | appearantly there have been several reports in the (at least) past 2 year questioning the structural integrity of the bridge. afaik, no action was taken.
