35W, One Week Later

Well, it's been a week since 35W fell into the Mississippi, and the Twin Cities are still recovering. Over the next few weeks I'll be writing a lot about the bridge collapse and the race for a replacement, but for now I'd like to point out the excellent coverage and commentary coming from a number of different sources:

• Twin Cities Sidewalks -- I should have linked to this a long time ago anyway. Excellent, well-thought-out commentary from someone who obviously cares very much about this community.
• John Week's 35W Bridge Page -- Detailed page about the about the bridge, along with a page on common myths and misconceptions.
• 35W Bridge Wikipedia Entry -- The number of stupid things said on CNN and other networks that could have been avoided by a quick look at this entry is amazing.

I'd also like to point out the 35W Bridge Disaster group on Flickr. Currently it has over 600 photos submitted by 70+ users. (Full disclosure: I organized the group, but have been pretty much hands-off since doing so.) Three sets stuck out early on: Flickr members ebrandt78, AdamDi and s4xton all were either at the scene right after the bridge collapsed, or posted photos on behalf of someone who was.
