It's been five years since the Interstate 40 bridge disaster in Webbers Falls, Okla., that killed 14 people. It was a bridge over which I had traveled several times, in the heart of some of the most beautiful country God ever created. Just a gorgeous area.

Wednesday's bridge collapse in Minneapolis happened during rush-hour, downtown, on I-35W in an area that connected downtown with the University of Minnesota campus. Not sure how many people in all this will claim, but reports as of 9:30 p.m. are six dead, at least 37 hurt. Given the location, the timing, everything, it will be a miracle if this is the final tally -- yet it's already an unimaginable tragedy.

However, it's a wake-up call for every city in America. Civil and structural engineers will be working overtime to figure this one out, and Homeland Security has another headache -- not that this was an act of terrorism, but this incident makes it clear how vulnerable certain roadways can be, particularly those weakened either by construction or by age.

What it means for me is work. The company I work for, Internet Broadcasting, is based in Minneapolis-St. Paul, and we're providing unmatchable coverage. If you're in Oklahoma, check out koco.com for live coverage, updates and a special section.
