Many would call me insensitive, but this flooding in southern Minnesota of the past week is a far greater disaster than the 35W bridge collapse. While fewer people died, thousands more livelihoods are being affected by this flooding. There are now thousands of displaced residents of flood stricken towns. These towns are going to lose businesses as a result. They are going to lose residents, and in some cases, will lose in part their identities. This flooding is far worse than the bridge collapse. I still do say however, that for those directly affected by the bridge collapse, it is tremendously tragic...Despite that, I don't fault TV for covering to a much further extent the bridge collapse over the flooding. The bridge collapse is something that doesn't happen--it was such an anomally. And humans love to find fault in other people and the bridge collapse is far greater a human error event than flooding is...Water is an incredible thing. It's one of the few elements in existence that most of life needs to stay alive. It has the greatest presence of any substance in the world. Yet it can reek the greatest havoc in the world from flooding, to encouraging mold growth in homes, to leaking through roofs, to being fairly absent in about 1/3 of the populated areas in the world.
