Not politics but the bridge at Webber’s falls was hit by a barge, every time a drive across it I think what that must have been like.

We were on I-40, 30 minutes or so before hitting it. Crazy shit.

Is crazy....like a few other moments in history remember exactly where I was when hear. Mind boggling even today something like that could happen.

I was reading yesterday about a witness talking about seeing a horse trailer full of horses sink & baby clothes floating on the water.

I was reading yesterday about a witness talking about seeing a horse trailer full of horses sink & baby clothes floating on the water.

We were driving home from Arkansas and my mom was trying to get us on our cell phones. It was when nationwide calling wasn’t a thing yet and I was being cheap and not answering. After 3 straight calls I finally answered and my mom was freaking out that we were on the bridge. We were still about 30 minutes out or so...hadn’t detoured yet. Still a bit scary. We left pretty early that morning so likely wouldn’t have gotten out early enough to have been on it but definitely shook us a little.
