Hope our X5 family members are ok. Lots of cars crushed and cars underwater. Awful.

I just saw that on the news. It is amazing that the structure that fell is almost floating intact on the river. Hope for the best...How scary...

I just crossed the bridge less than 3 hours before it went down. My brother goes across right about that time (6:05) as he works within a few blocks of there. He left work early today to go to his sons golf league thank goodness. Any other X5 World Members from this area?

That's just awful. Prayers go out to those on the bridge at the time. They were just in the wrong place at the wrong time...........

6 confimed deaths

That is nuts, I can't stop watching, so far it seems to me it could have been much worse

Wow, reminds me of the SF Bay Bridge collapse in 1989. Just terrible

That's awful. I don 't know when that bridge was built originally but I bet it was not designed to take that amount of motors travelling it.

Very sad news.
