@lfrum It's just awful. I wonder how this could have happened, and I'm praying for those families whose members are missing.

@lfrum yeah.. its insane.. imagine getting ready for your morning commute across the bridge and realizing its not there anymore.. They have no idea how many people fell into the water.. there were construction crews on the bridge at the time.

@Museek @lfrum Latest says 6 workers filling potholes are missing. But MDOT immediately closed bridge access because the ship's crew sent a mayday call. That communication saved countless lives.

@wolfwoman @lfrum Yes I also read there were at least 20 cars on the bridge but there could have been more if not for the ship’s mayday call and them closing the bridge.

@Museek @lfrum I read that early on, but as I live 20 miles away I've been keeping track with news updates. And as one reporter mentioned, if you watch the slo-mo of the bridge collapse, you can see there were 2 cars that appeared to get across before it collapsed.

@wolfwoman @lfrum crazy.. thankfully they got across.. this looks like Hollywood.. it’s surreal…very sad.
