Still waiting to hear back from a friend there--he likes to leave his AIM on and it never says idle because it pings every ten minutes, so it's normal for him not to respond to IM's, but still I'm a little nervous. He also has a wife and knows lots of people.

And I hope everyone here is okay too.

So is Faux Noise blaming this on Al-Qaeda?

They are doing their best to imply it might be terrorism in spite of the fact every public safety group in our state is saying there is no evidence of terrorism and are calling it a structural tragedy.

Jesus fuck. This is second higjway collapse in a year. And probably the worst national disaster since Katrina. Another reminder that this nations billions are in the wrong place(s).

This guy, who lives right by the bridge, saw it collapse and took these photos within a few minutes, while he helped.

Well, he logged into his Myspace sometime in the last few hours, so thank god.

Good news!

I hope all you good people and your loved ones up there are ok.

Not just faux news, but most of the right wing noise machine

My god these people are disgusting with their bloodlust for more war.

Michelle Malkin is one of the worst. She's just barely to the left of Ann Coulter, in that she doesn't overtly state her wish for liberals to be killed.
