I thought this may give you guys & gals a better idea of what OHP divers and other SR divers are having to deal with on this horrible accident. Several different shots from the air that were taken yesterday.

My mother lives in Oklahoma, so I guess I can speak on what happened...a barge crashed into the supports on the bridge and it collapsed with heavy Memorial Day traffic on it. Cars full of people and at least one horse trailer plummeted into the water. I think there were 14 fatalities (not counting the horses). I-40 is the main thoroughfare that runs through Arkansas and Oklahoma...

I think they are still investigating what happened, but the barge captain was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs...

Cottontop,

Those are great pics. I have been over that span no less that 300 times.

Being in Denver right now may have just saved me.
