Thinking of Minneapolis from Chicago

08.04.07 | admin | In war, minneapolis, terrorism

In the Chicago Tribune yesterday were two letters to the editor about the bridge disaster in Minneapolis that I wanted to repost here:

Lets hope that Chicago Bridge inspectors are better than Chicago porch inspectors at discovering and remediating potential structural failures.

-Sue Ellen Levins, Chicago

As I follow the news on television about the collapse of the bridge in Minneapolis, I hear that structural damage, not terrorism, is the apparent cause. Too bad we are pouring billions of dollars into Iraq while the infrastructures in our major cities are collapsing for want of cash and concern.

-Carol Coulter, Dwight, Illinois
