One radio program reported within the first hour that the Dept of Homeland Security had already concluded the bridge collapse was NOT caused by an act of terrorism. I asked myself, now how can they make an absolute conclusion like that so soon? As I thought about it some more, I pondered the exact opposite.

What if the D of HS immediately found evidence of terrorism, but to avoid an inevitable public panic, their first protocol is to tell the media the opposite. That would really suck and I really hope my overall mistrust of government, just has me over-thinking it. Benefit of the doubt aside, let’s face the facts. The political correctness disease has crossed party lines and is infecting the good minds of some very staunch GOP’ers. So nothing is for certain anymore.

I let my pessimism fade for the rest of the night. But when I got home this morning and watched the TV coverage, I worked myself up all over again. I saw the video footage of the actual collapse. That bridge broke away from it’s north and south supports simultaneously and fell straight down. I invite structural engineers, bridge architects, and/or physics professors to watch the video and explain how that can happen without an earthquake, or river barge striking a support. There’s only one cause this layman has ever seen that produces that type of action: “Synchronized Demolition Charges”.

There’s your food for thought. I’m most likely wrong. I’ll be glad to be wrong. It’s comforting that 15 hrs. have gone by without any other similar incidents. You have to put some stock in the fact that the terrorists’ objective is to kill ALL non-Muslims and when that’s not possible, destroy their economies. The I-35 bridge is a big deal to us Minnesotans, but on a terrorists’ scale: it’s peanuts. If it really was a terrorist act, we would have heard about 25 other major bridge collapses last night. Hmmm…

Peace and Harmony wishes to you all.
