Re: 35W Bridge just Collapsed

A coworker of mine is a navy seal trained diver and has spent the last couple days on site.

He had to pull him self out after fighting the current and debris, it was too dangerous. He said visibility is about a foot. On Wednesday he was under a part of the bridge trying to locate cars and the bridge would keep sinking down into the muck, he would suddenly feel the bridge on his back. Thursday the current was way to swift and dangerous to navigate in zero visibility conditions. He said the whole mess is just sinking more and more everyday into the muck, they will more than likely have to pull the bridge out of the water before they can safely get to most of the cars underwater. Today they found two bodies about 500 yards down from the collapse.

What a mess.

A friend of our family was on the collapse, his name is Jason. He was the dude who had the cut nose and no shirt on in the interviews.
