That blog commentary really conveyed the horror those on the bridge must have experienced. Even those of us who were watching at home felt such panic, trying to reach loved ones (in my case, my daughter) who may have been on the bridge, on cell phone networks that became overwhelmed almost immediately. We visited the site this week to pay our respects and it was just so sad. But there is such a level of cooperation and community in Minneapolis after this tragedy. I used to be a bit skeptical that we Minnesotans were as "nice" as we are made out to be, but that is the one quality that is shining through as we move forward.
Even the police officers on duty at various vantage points around the collapse site seem to be going the extra mile in making visitors feel welcome and not like gawkers. One officer commented on how healing he thinks it is for people to be able to gather near the site. Well, I guess we'e not all so nice -- he also said that around 20 people had been arrested for crossing police lines and taking bits of the debris, probably to sell on eBay!
Now we need to find out why this happened. This could be where the Minnesota Nice gives way to a practical, steely determination to make sure it never happens again.
