The Bridge in Minnesota ..collapsed.

Pic's credit

I couldn't believe my eyes , i woke up to the the news this morning , and i found a disaster .
The bridge , that i used to use every single day just 8 months ago , had collapsed sending tons of rubble to the Mississippi river with scores of cars and people. 7 people had been killed and over 60 people had been injured .

I called 4 or 5 people so far in Minneapolis to check on them , but it's 10 am here (Cairo time) , i am sure all of them are sleeping now .

I sent them emails , but no one will get back to me now , I am so worried , and it feels like i was there , i couldn't help stop my tears from falling , Minnesota is my home , and i loved it so much , i loved the river , the streets , the people , the airport i used to work at , i could have been one of those people over the bridge .

Pray for the victims ...

I am waiting for any kind of response from my Friends ....

كارثة بشعة فعلا، أول ما صحيت الصبح كان أول خبر قابلته علي قناة بي بي سي ، الحطام شكلها مخيف فعلا لأنه مش انهيار جزئي حسب ما شفت الفيديو.

المراسل كان بيقول بيستبعدوا عمل تخريبي وغالبا هيكون مشكلة في الانشاءات وهندسة الكوبري

ربنا يستر وتطمئن علي أعزاءك

Thanks ya Mokhtar ...

It's a disaster indeed , and -it's to me - more saddening than it's to many people ...

I used to drive over this bridge almost every day , it hits home rely .

I feel i want to be there and help with the rescue efforts , or do any thing useful .

Aside from being worried about my Friends , and people i worked with , i still want to help ..but i don't know how .

The way it fell , has to be investigated , and i am sure "some one" is really in trouble right now .

متشكر جدا يا ولاز

فيه تقارير مبدئية
استبعدت كلها محاولات التخريب والارهاب
انا بديت اشوف علي صفحة ياهو الرئيسية خبر كل شوية عن اسباب الانهيار واضح انها كلها اسباب هيكلية ليها علاقة بطريقة البناء والعيوب

حيبان قريبا

انا اطمنت علي معظم الناس الحمد لله
