Incompetence only goes so far.

Meanwhile, George Jr must go visit - as if he will see or do something useful. If they gave him a shovel, maybe that $quarter-million trip might result in something useful – such as pictures.

This is what Warch was describing.

the entire north and southbound 35 W bridge collapsed.
The standing bridge is older, not identical in that is not a single steel span. It is a four lane "top" street bridge, not a highway. It is at relatively the same height above the river as 35 used to be.

Well, you don't think that 5 million, plus follow-on, comes with out a photo-op do you. After all, were talking Minnesota, not Louisiana, here.
