This occured about 20 minutes from where I live.

When the bridge went down, there were cars that were driving across it that were going about 70 miles per hour.

It was raining extremly heavily, so drivers could barely see the road in front of them. After the bridge collapsed, no one knew that it had collapsed because of the rain, and cars driving on the interstate continued to fly off the edge of the bridge at high speed.

Pretty scary stuff.

I caught a quick interview of one of the survivors by the local news media. He was really banged up, but it wasn't his cuts and bruises that got me -- it was his eyes. He looked spooked in a bad way. All he would say was that he was going to go home now, and be with his family.
