Secondly, its not a Minnesota bridge, but in Mississippi. Third of all, there was construction work going on that bridge just before it collapsed ...
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/mai.../wbridge202.xml
The bridge was undergoing "minor" repairs at the time of the tragedy, officials said. Early reports suggested construction workers were using a jackhammer before the collapse.
Plus how can you compare a collapse of a bridge to a collapse of a building like the WTC complex? Not a good comparison, lacks logic, irrelevant, quite silly ...
Look, the cement is pulverized ... OMG:

1: It was in minnesota
2: The bridge was undergoing deck rehabilitation..... not structural rehabilitiation meaning the jack hammer the concrete out of small sectoins of the deck to repair corroded rebar and replace the surface treatment (asphalt). a jackhammer will do nothing to structural steel. infact a hoeram wont do much to structural steel.
3: the bridge only fell 60 ft and as you can see from your own photo, a section of the deck was pulverized.
4: The point i was trying to make was not that this bridge collapse is at all similar to the WTC, but that small changes in a structure can cause catastrophic results.

Thanks for the link, I just finished watching part one that covers astrotheology, but I'm already quite familiar with astrotheology and astrothelogical elements paralleled in religion; Christianity comes to mind at once of course. Although I'm kind of confused about the transition from the age of pices to the age of aquarius and how all that fits in with the Mayan calander. Time to hit those astology books lol. Meanwhile, I'm going to finish watshing the rest of Zietgeist and laugh my ass off at all the idiots in this thread lol.

LOL ... MIssissippi ... Minnesota ... fuck. Too bad a state has to be named after a river. Anyhow, on the photos and on the video links, you can clearly see that most of the concrete is still intact, and not pulverized to dust, like WTC was. Secondly, if there was no construction done on the bridge, and hopefully the investigation can shed a light on that, the bridge probably would have not collapsed. Third, the collapse of a bridge has very little in common to the collapse of a large building, its like comparing apples to oranges again ...

I saw the movie Zeitgeist couple times already some time ago though a friend who bought it, but it's boring up until the last third of it (nothing new). The religion and the conspiracies parts have been alrready covered in detail in many other videos/movies I've seen. However, the last third of the movie, where everything was brilliantly put together, where the media and television was bashed, wow, that was good. Plus great selection of clips as well. Carl Sagan's one was good timing.

Yeah, there wasn't new really in it at all that I'm not already familiar with, but it's pretty well put together.
