Pittsburgh bridge collapses on day Biden to visit city to talk infrastructure

42. I almost had a panic attack once while stopped on a bridge.

It was a week after that bridge collapse around a decade ago in Minnesota. 270 eastbound between Missouri and Illinois travels a couple of miles elevated on a long approach toward the Mississippi. They were doing work on the eastbound side around 10pm (actually replacing an old bridge which is no longer there) and we were inching forward at a near standstill as westbound traffic roared by the other way at 55mph.

I could feel the bridge sway when big tractor trailers passed. Usually you can't feel that when driving normally, so it was terrifying.
