Barefooted woman

The TV networks are only showing a portion of this security- camera video of the Minneapolis bridge collapse. At the halfway point a bare-footed woman in her 30s or early 40s scampers across the frame, right to left. A few seconds later she crosses left to right, returning from whence she came. Why is she not wearing shoes? Some artist will take this video and make a continuous repeating loop reel and show it in an art gallery.

She's wearing flats or jellies.

I never understood why people like arguing with you especially in times of tragedy. Looks like she came from the beach and is saying, "The bridge was expected to be a key artery during the Republican National Convention in the summer of 2008. If we weren't in Iraq, we'd be fixing the bridges and dams."

It's all gotta be Bush's fault, somehow.

Some people prefer to drive barefoot for comfortability. Not smart, but there are more not-smart people than smart ones.

Maybe she was wearing heels and took them off so she could run. You watch movies, right?

CNN kind of took Jeff's idea but without the girl.

"It's all gotta be Bush's fault, somehow."

it's both worthless party's fault. but i'd say after a terrorist attack on our nation, given the billions we waste on unfired weapons collecting dust til the next gen of firepower, a bushco glance at bridge infrastructure would have been de rigeur. of course, nobody thought terrorists would hijack planes to crash them into buildings...

and the fact that the city gave millions to build a powerful new sports arena -- which they couldn't open that night for obvious reasons -- over a bridge in need of repair for years tell you all you need to know.

let's hear one more republican tell us that bush is making us safer:

"The fact is that Americans have been squandering the infrastructure legacy bequeathed to us by earlier generations. Like the spoiled offspring of well-off parents, we behave as though we have no idea what is required to sustain the quality of our daily lives. Our electricity comes to us via a decades-old system of power generators, transformers and transmission linesâ€”a system that has utility executives holding their collective breath on every hot day in July and August. We once had a transportation system that was the envy of the world. Now we are better known for our congested highways, second-rate ports, third-rate passenger trains and a primitive air traffic control system. Many of the great public works projects of the 20th centuryâ€”dams and canal locks, bridges and tunnels, aquifers and aqueducts, and even the Eisenhower interstate highway systemâ€”are at or beyond their designed life span."

That bridge was already under construction. And I can tell you that the Metrodome is shittier than the bridge was.
