At 7:10 this evening, 6:10 Central Standard Time, a tragedy occurred with the collapse of one of the most highly traveled bridges in Minneapolis, Minnesota. While Minnesotans were making their way home from work and on to the Minnesota Twins game, the I-35W bridge suddenly came down. Even now, as we stand here this evening, search and rescue teams are searching the waters of the Mississippi River for survivors. The Minnesota delegation remains committed to ensuring that Minnesota receives the resources necessary for recovery. I want to thank the House leadership, in particular Speaker Pelosi and Leader Boehner, for responding so quickly and agreeing to lend their support. I would ask that all Americans would join with the Minnesota delegation in praying for those that are impacted by this disaster.
