<snip>
A Minneapolis bridge that was closed after inspectors deemed it unsafe will be imploded later this month.

The Lowry Avenue bridge over the Mississippi River will come down on June 21, and construction on a new bridge will begin this fall.

Bridge engineers discovered one of the bridge's piers had rotated enough that it posed too much of a risk to the public. It was closed in April 2008.

It was startling until we all realized what happened. :hi:

5. I'm sure that was scary
Still trying to figure out why that lady took her dog. She should have known dogs hate explosions.
