Did you hear about it?
It's on the news right now, this bridge collapsed and cars and bikers and people all fell and its just...wow.

My question is...how does a bridge just collapse?

Yes, he did it in the 6th book. :)

Seriously, that's really strange...

The exact same thing happened in Montreal before and ever since it happened all the bridges are being checked.

It pisses me off to think that because officials who knew that a bridge was falling apart didn't say anything here. It should be like that everywhere considering innocent lives were lost that day. I couldn't believe it.

I haven't watched it.
My dad called and told me about it.
Since I used to live there.
I had friends there.
I'm worried about them.
Most of them I can't get in contact with.
Don't know their phone/email/myspace/anything.

I seriously hope they're alright.

Basically I won't know if they're fine or if they're hurt or whatever.
But I have contact with two of my friends, maybe they still know them.
