Western Kentucky bridge collapses on ship

[Riot]

Four cars on the bridge, bridge collapsed on ship, nobody killed. We know the ship did not hit the bridge. It was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is huge, long major bridge to large recreation area. Decades old bridge, opened in 1932, carries 2800 cars a day, the western entrance to Land Between the Lakes national recreation area.

Can we have that infrastructure repair money now, Speaker Boehner? Or do you still think infrastructure repair in this country is a waste we cannot afford? How many of our bridges have to simply fall down before Congress decides it's worth an investment of our tax dollars to fix them and save our lives? Don't whine to me about 6,000 jobs lost in Keystone, when there are hundreds of thousands lost, plus bridge repairs lost, because you wouldn't approve the funds to fix them.



Maybe we can wait until many more die, like in Minnesota?
