Mississippi bridge collapse kills 7
Picture

Emergency personnel survey the site of a collapsed bridge over the Mississippi River on Wednesday in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At least seven people were killed when cars, trucks and massive chunks of concrete plunged into the rushing waters, officials said. The bridge was under construction at the time of the accident and only one lane was open in either direction when it collapsed shortly after 6 pm (2300 GMT), right in the middle of the local rush hour.
