Sojourner Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 TF, checking in. I was out swimming in a lake near my house and heard all the rescue vehicles. When we got to shore we learned about the collapse. I'm now watching it on the news. Wowzers. Now I'm just thinking how much traffic tomorrow is going to smell of elderberries .... And yes it is going to storm .... I can hear the thunder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sincerely sorry if anyone you know was involved. It's horrible. But she has every right to be logical. The world will continue, tomorrow, and there's nothing wrong with thinking about how it's going to be dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 They've just reported three casualties. And Catholicinsd, I think it's entirely appropriate to be concerned about traffic. That doesn't mean I don't give proper respect to those who were killed. If you want to be holier-than-thou start your own thread and I won't post in it.

So, if you're calling them on cell phones, that could be the reason they're not answering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catholicinsd Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Yea. Actually I'm not calling anybody in the area for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was rush hour, bumper-to-bumper slow-moving traffic, more than 100 cars on the bridge. Awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 It is really just unreal to see this on TV ... They're saying they don't expect terrorism at this point, just structural failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
