35W Bridge Collapsed Survivor
By Three Crazy Dogs | September 22, 2007
On my way to work yesterday listening to my usual morning talk-show, 92KQRS, the talk host announced they will be interviewing, Jake, who is the fiance of Mercedes Gorden, a victim of the collapsed 35W bridge. Once I got to my usual parking spot, I had to listen to the interview. It was the most moving interview I have ever listened to. He described how Mercedes was on the bridge and felled nose down 60 feet to the bottom of the bridge and landed on the bank of the Mississippi River. Her legs were pinned to the front of the car, in excruciating pain, unable to move and was still able to make a phone call to him informing him the bridge had collapsed and he cannot come to her. He created an online journal all about her time before and after the collapsed. The website also has pictures of her how her car landed on the bank of the river and also the 6 surgeries she had to go through to reconstruct her feet. Yes, I cried when I read what she and Jake had to go through. Now, this is all behind them, looking towards a new life ahead of them. There will be a benefit held for her tomorrow at the Fine Line Music Cafe. Wish I can go.
