ON AUGUST 1,2007 I-35 MISSISSIPPI RIVER BRIDGE COLLAPSE,IT OCCUR DURING THE RUSH HOUR.THE BRIDGE WAS BUILT IN 1967,IT WAS 40 YEARS OLD.THIS BRIDGE WICH CARRY APPROXIMATLY 200,000 CARS PER DAY CONNECTED THE CITIES OF MINNEAPOLIS AND ST.PAUL.THE BRIDGE WAS RATED STRUCTULLY DEFICIENT AND MANY OTHERS AROUND THE COUNTRY ARE IN THE SAME LEVEL OF DEFICIENT.THE BRIDGE WAS RATED DEFICIENT DURING THE INVENTURY IN 2005 BECAUSE IT SCORE 50 OUT OF 120,BUT OFFICIALS SAID THIS WASN'T A THREAT TO THSE WHO USE THE BRIDGE,THAT THE BRIDGE COULD RESIST UNTIL 2020.THAT INDEED IT NEEDED TO HAVE HAVE SOME REPAIRS DONE BUT THE STATE HAD TO HAVE TAKEN CARE OF..AFTER THE BRIDGE COLLAPSE GEORGE BUSH ,WHO EDITORS CONSTANTLY REMMENBER HOW SLOWLY HE ACTED WHEN HURRICANE KATRINA STRIKE AND DESTROY NEW ORLEANS.SAID THAT THE GOVERMENT WILL DO WHAT EVER IS ON THEIR HANDS TO RESPOND AS FAST AS THEY CAN TO REBUILT THE BRIDGE.

AT FIRST WHEN THE BRIGE COLLAPSE OFFICIALS SAID THEY WERE GOING TO INVESTIGATETHAT IF THE WORK THAT THE BRIDGE WAS GOING TROW HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.APOX. 3 WEEKS LATER INSPECTOR SAID THAT PIGEON DROPPING COULD BE ONE OF THE CAUSES OT THE COLLAPSE OF THE BRIDGE.THE PIGEON DROPING HELP THE STEEL TO RUST FASTER BECAUSE IT CONTAINS AMMONIA ANSD SALT.
AS A RESULT OT THE COLLAPSE 13 PEOPLE WERE KILLED,AND MANY WERE INJURED.THERE WERE MANY WHO SURVIVE,,ONE OF THEM WAS A SCHOOL BUS FULL OF KIDS THAT GOT OUT OFF THE BUS THROW THE BACK WINDOW,LIKE MANY OHER DID TO SCAPE FROM BEEN SMASH BY OTHER CARS OR BY THE OWNS BRIDGE CONCRETE.

THE GAURDIAN(answers)
1) The audience seem to be everyone,the resisdence from the USA but mainly the residense of UK.The editors from these newpaper want to show them that the USA is not even able to help themselves in their worst,so that they dont look to t
he USA as the strongest nation."the collapse highlights again the lack of invesment by the world's super power in much of its structure,including roads,dbridges,dams and, in case of new orleans,.."
2) For the Guardians editors the villians seem to be the USA federal goverment,because they dont act upon the need ot their own country seem they dint spend money to in repairments of the bridges.They also think that the president is not doind his jod correctly,seem they keep focusing on how slow Bush acted toward the devastation of New Orleans and they though it was going to happen the same in this case..But they are not the only ones who think Bush contributes to this disaster.Harry Reid said the money that was destributed to spend in domestic programmas was spend in the war.
3)Hereos were the police and the frirefighters who help those who were thap,the ones that could get out for themselves.the heroes were also the ones that were in the disaster because they help each othe get out of cars,gave each other their hands.
