I wish your points weren't so good. Easterncedar Jun 2023 #2

I have similar thoughts. Also haven't heard of any injuries. Seems weird at least. we can do it Jun 2023 #3

It is odd that they never mentioned anything about the Emile Jun 2023 #4

This is what makes me wonder. we can do it Jun 2023 #10

I read that the driver is missing, no other deaths or injuries Freddie Jun 2023 #19

But that is all they say. 2naSalit Jun 2023 #32

Because they hadn't found the remains yet Effete Snob Jun 2023 #108

Exactly what the ABC evening news said tonight. KS Toronado Jun 2023 #99

That said, my first thought when I heard of the collapse was "Could it have been terrorism?" csziggy Jun 2023 #100

No, I really doubt that "most" were wondering. BlackSkimmer Jun 2023 #122
