The coverage of yesterday’s bridge collapse has really been something to see. Newspapers from everywhere have dedicated their front pages to this tragedy, but the best stuff has come from the locals. There is a massive amount of information in that thread, from picture/video links to pointing out the newly updated bridge Wikipedia page to countless personal blogs where you can read first hand accounts to extremely insightful perspectives (via the suberb job Erica did on liveblogging at Metblogs). That doesn’t even include the local news sites, who did fantastic jobs covering the event, some staying up into the wee hours of the morning. It was particularly interesting to see how close the local online/blogging community is here.

My thoughts are with the people injured or deceased and their family members.
