No that's 3.5 minutes of utter mediocrity.

That watch of yours might need a new battery.

<div>Both I-70 & I-65 interstates are totally closed in downtown Indianapolis ... at the same time (the only 2) ... because, we Hoosiers seem to have failed to understand that the original design already had drivers navigating two full speed highways, while merging into cross traffic (daredevil figure 8 style), with crossover drivers like Jane Doe texting the housekeeper that the family Cat (Grumpy) has a special diet for Mondays breakfast, because Grumpy has a fur appointment in the afternoon on Wednesday.
 
In order to put our best foot forward as a city? we threw down a bunch of asphalt to look good for the SuperBowl ... even paid the contractor extra for finishing early (closing as you may guess, I-65 & I-70). I guess we/he went and raised the ground under our bridges a little too much as bunches of Trucks decided to hit them over, and over ... and over.
 
So this time we are going to do it right, and pay the contractor more money if he finishes early. At least Jacksonville can blame the Tide, or freak accidents ... We pay extra for it. :woot:

I've yet to see or read an interview with someone who was driving over the bridge when the ship hit.

What was that like? Did the bridge shake and folks thought they were going over the side, or was it one of those "huh, I wonder what that was"?

How do I file suit to be reimbursed for the extra money in gas expenditures this is going to cost me? Call Barnes, Barnes and Farah?
