Today we headed down to the Stone Arch Bridge to see where the 35W bridge used to be. I just can't wrap my head around it still. I thought it would help if I saw it up close, but it didn't. I guess I am having a hard time imagining what it look like when it was still standing. Even seeing a portion of the twisted metal didn't get it to sink in. It was such a beautiful morning, but so sad to look down into the water knowing that people are still in there. I don't know how the families go on...
If you click on the photo, it should make it bigger and you can see the bent metal of the bridge
The tallest building on the horizon is where Chris and I worked when we met, at the U of M
Xander checking out all the sites on the bridge. He knows that a big bridge fell down and that now cars can't drive on it until they build a new one, but that is as far as it goes. He saw the aftermath on TV, but we did not explain that people got hurt and killed. I don't want him to be afraid to drive over bridges and he definitely doesn't understand death at all, so we left it at that. We found lots of other cool things to look at on the bridge.
