Bridge Collapses In The Us by TheOne2(m): 7:30am On Aug 02, 2007
A bridge over the Mississippi river collapsed yesterday.

I'm sure our diaspora Nigerians wish that is the 3rd mainland bridge so that they can continue their onslaught on anything Nigerian. I wonder what they will say to this one.

The collapse of the bridge had nothing to do with terrorism, we need to hold Gov. Tim Pawlenty responsible. I drove south on that road (the bridge that collapsed was on the northern part of the interstate highway), while my friend drove on that particular bridge 20 minutes before it happened (he's thanking God now). It's unfortunate to have such a disaster, I pray God to give those who lost their loved ones the strength to get over it.

U don't even wanna compare the infrastructural development to the crappy bridges that u got in Lagos (this particular incident is just one of the rare occurrences with infrastructures here). No body in their right mind would wish such a thing happens in Nigeria.

@ the one,
pple are still waiting for their loved ones to walk through the door and all you can think of is what nigerians in diaspora will say if this happened in naija.

If you havent heard, the 3rd Mainland bridge is in need of repairs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Mainland_Bridge,

Making a mockery abt this tragedy was uncalled for.
