Count Of Missing In Minneapolis Bridge Collapse Lowered

Recovery crews have drastically lowered the number of missing in the I-35W bridge collapse to 8- according to the latest AP story.

Five are confirmed dead and 79 were injured when the 8-lane structure fell just after 6pm Wednesday evening.
Traffic was reported "bumper to bumper" on four of the bridge's 8 lanes and construction crews were working on the bridge's roadway on the other 4 lanes when the bridge failed.

The recovery effort continues- albeit it slowly- due to debris- currents and the murky conditions of the Mississippi River.
