I went down and saw it last evening..
the collapsed span is enormous in person..
almost 1/2 mile I'd say..
it was an intense and sobering experience as you'd imagine..
The Stone Arch Bridge has become a kind of church..
as has the new Guthrie, and the University Avenue bridge..
thousands of people there 7:00 Sunday night..
lots of people standing there taking pictures on cellphones and cameras, talking on cellphones describing it to someone who's not there, pointing, some just staring off into an empty space where there used to be a bridge, with open mouths..
some people were crying..
feels like ground zero..
35W is eerie deadly quiet..
