Minneapolis Residents Document Bridge Collapse

The Interstate 35 West bridge spanning the Mississippi River in Minneapolis buckled during evening rush hour Wednesday, sending dozens of cars and tons of concrete crashing into the water. Guests and callers from the Twin Cities discuss the citizen journalists who arrived on the scene.

Eric Brandt, amateur photojournalist, submitted photos of the bridge collapse to MPR's Web site
