I came to the conclusion that I would be trying to help people. I know I can say that now because I obviously wasn't there and being there makes it real. But, I know myself very well. I would be down there hunting for people. I always say how people are assholes and this society is full of a bunch of tools (and I haven't changed my mind about that) but never did I say I wanted those aforementioned assholes to die or get hurt. So yeah, I would be down there on the water banks searching. Maybe even inside of the Mississippi river doing what I could. This is just a horrible ordeal and I pray that many more people are found and that the death rate stays at a low number. Six isn't low when it comes to death though. I wonder how it happened. The news reported that the bridge had been under inspection in 2005 and 2006. How does something like this "just happen?" I know how, but to say what I think would make everyone think I'm heartless."

You're not alone, Death, in imagining what you'd do in the same situation. I've lost track of how many scenarios I imagined after the Virginia tech shootings.

Damn, I wanted a piece of that guy.


As for the bridge.... I'd just die. I'm terrified of only 2 things: heights, and drowning (I don't swim). You drop me off a bridge, and I'll be dead of a heart attack before I hit the water.
