Bridge in Minneapolis, city of Minnesota breaked into sectors and collapsed into the Mississippi River on 1st of Augest 2007 at peak hours. 7 were dead,20 missing and 35 injured. Around 50 vehicles sink into the river.

Here are some image of this inccident

You can see how terrible the situation was at that time.The reason of the collapsed bridge was not yet confirm but there are suspected reasons like wear and tear, lack of maintenance or structural issues. It was said that the bridge was found faulty already years back but the major did not take any action back then. I felt terrible sorry for those who were dead or injured in this inccident.
