My office is a mile or less from the bridge.

The reason the death toll was reduced is because the coroner only had four bodies as of this morning. Estimates are 20 to 30 missing. Diving operations did not resume until 10:45 am today.

I live about 10-15 minutes from that bridge. My dad works in Minneapolis and drives over that bridge many times in a day. Luckily he was off work early yesterday and drove over it a mear 10 minutes before it went down. He says this will add at least 2 hours to his day. I was thinking about running down there today and trying to check it out. Ill try to snap some photos.
