Minneapolis Bridge Collapse
I've already heard from a number of clients, vendors, and partners asking if our Minneapolis-based employees and their families are fine or if any were killed, injured, or missing as a result of the collapse yesterday evening of the I-35W bridge over the Mississippi River near downtown Minneapolis and the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) campus. We're all fine and we very much appreciate the concern. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
Tragedies such as these do have positive benefits for the rest of us. These tragedies bring us all closer together and help us realize what is truly important: our family, friends, and health. I saw a comment posted by a Twin Cities resident who put this into great context. Yesterday morning the news in the Twin Cities was dominated by the trade of Kevin Garnett to the Boston Celtics and Johan Santana's criticisms of the Minnesota Twins management for trading one of their best hitters and not adding any personnel even though the club's biggest weakness is hitting. Then the bridge collapses. Suddenly Garnett's trade and Santana's criticisms aren't quite so important.
