Survivors of the Interstate 35W Bridge Collapse

I talked to this woman and her son at the scene who went over the north end of the Interstate 35W Bridge in their mini van. They must have been one of the last vehicles to fall. The boy told me they were headed straight down and flipped over landing on their roof. The boy was unharmed, his Mother had bandages on her fingers and a bandaid on her face. They were waiting for her husband to come pick them up, he was stuck in traffic. They said they felt lucky to be alive.
