I-35W Bridge Collapses – 13 Dead

The 35W Bridge Collapse here in Minneapolis, Minnesota was international news! I drove over the bridge 30 minutes before it collapsed. I was taking Engagement Pictures of Christal and Eric at the time of the collapse. They went over the bridge 15 minutes before it fell. Kinda freaky considering we rescheduled the engagement pictures at the last minute, which made us barely escape making that number 17 dead.

I was able to take the picture above the same night of the collapse. I couldn’t get any closer or take any more detailed pictures with the security guards everywhere. Trust me, I almost got arrested trying!

Only the first 2 images in this gallery are mine, the others come from google images.
