In the wake of the bridge collapse in Baltimore Tuesday morning, many Minnesotans thought about the state's similar tragedy back in 2007 when the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis collapsed, killing 13 and injuring 145.In Baltimore, the mile-long Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed into the river below, around 1:30 a.m., after an enormous cargo ship collided with it.The reasons for the two bridges collapsing are different. But the trauma is similar.That's especially true for Lindsay Walz. She miraculously survived a fall into the Mississippi River from the 35W bridge more than sixteen years ago. And Tuesday's events brought back a lot of memories.She joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about taking the first steps to heal from such a traumatic incident.
