Minneapolis Bridge Collapse

This is Will, hacking into Lily's account, to tell everyone, since you all care as much about her as I do, that she and her family are safe following the I-35W bridge collapse into the Mississippi River during the evening rush hour in Minneapolis. Lily and her folks were nowhere near the scene at that time. The collapse happened on I-35W over the river and is next to University Avenue, the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus, and the Metrodome.

The latest reports are that six people have been killed as a result of the bridge collapse, which sent vehicles into the river and crushed everything on a couple of roads passing underneath the bridge by the river. Luckily, given that it was rush hour, the casualties seem to be rather light (for this kind of catastrophe), but still, if there's anyone here that knows someone in the Twin Cities area or happened to be passing through this evening, please make sure they're alright.

All prayers and well wishes for the victims of the bridge collapse are certainly more than welcome. Those in the Twin Cities area can also donate blood: here is the information.

So, thankfully all is well here and with my peoples in Minnesota.

-Will
