Tragedy has struck close to the U of M campus as the 35W bridge collapsed over the Mississippi River last evening. This day, August 1st, 2007 is to be considered by most as the most tragic day in Minnesota's history.

My deepest sympathies go out to all affected by this catastrophe.

I will continue to update you all on this event. However,  I am overseas and currently posting from my phone. Thank you wifi and Nokia.
