35 W bridge collapse in Minneapolis

Today at work in California I had to break the news to my sister that the 35W bridge by the U of M collapsed. She called me frantic today on her way home from work south of the airport and asked me to look on the internet to see what was going on. She thought she heard that a bridge collapsed but couldn't figure out where.

To see a time frame of what happened:
WCCO News

The national news paints a more optimistic view of what has happened, but there has been fatal injuries. It did happen during rush hour on a major interstate.

Reaching anyone via cell phone in the Twin Cities today has been extremely difficult. So far all I have had is good news.
