"Confirmed Dead" down to 4 according to report on CNN after reporting 7-9 last night.

As many as 50 vehicles are trapped in the rubble or in the river after the eight-lane interstate bridge collapsed during Minneapolis' evening rush hour. Twenty to 30 people were missing, Minneapolis police Chief Tim Dolan said.

Four people were confirmed dead, and officials said at least 79 people were injured when the Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River buckled.

President Bush on Thursday pledged federal aid to rebuild the bridge, and the White House announced he will visit the disaster site Saturday. Transportation Secretary Mary Peters said $5 million was being made available immediately to pay for traffic flow adjustments and debris removal.

Relatives hope, pray as river search continues - CNN.com

Unfortunately that count will just go up as more bodies are recovered.

BKB was able to get in touch with his cousin who lives in Minneapolis. Fortunately his cousin as well as all the other family members BKB has up there are ok.
