Not really, and not really. I know it's a tragedy, but seven people is a lot better than it could have been. Frankly, I was surprised it wasn't much more.

And, really, how is this concerning in the least? One bridge collapse shouldn't be enough to shake your confidence when there are thousands of bridges operating perfectly fine every single day. And that's just in Pittsburgh.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Where exactly is any salt water coming from? Freshwater lakes and rivers feed into the Mississippi.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
