Interstate 35W bridge over the Mississippi River

There are many cars that fell into the water and are completely submerged...

 

The 35W bridge was at the same level as the 10th Ave. bridge in the foreground.

 

There were about 12 rescue boats in the water.

 

Downtown Minneapolis is in the distance with St. Anthony Falls lock-and-dam on the immediate left. The east bank of the University of Minnesota is directly behind me.

 

On the far right in the distance are the arches of the Stone Arch bridge, now a pedestrian and bicycle bridge and a former train bridge for crossing the Mississippi. I am standing on another bicycle and pedestrian bridge, again a former train bridge.

 

Interstate 35W bridge. I heard about it and flew like the wind on my bicycle, as I thought I could offer assistance.
