Major props
Major props need to be given to the emergency services here. The police have the area sealed from the public. The streets all around all blocked to allow for emergency vehicles. Emergency rescue boats were in the water even though there is a big lock with the highest waterfall and elevation drop on the entire course of the river about 1/2 mile upstream.
By the time I got a call and went down (I live on the Mississippi 1/2 mile toward the city from the bridge) to see if I could help - approx 30 min from the time of the accident though I didn't know it at the time - all of the above was done.
Thank god for the construction on that bridge or you would be looking at hundreds dead!!!!!
