Ship takes out Bridge in Kentucky- go see for yourself!

We had a ton of excitement around here Thursday night- about 20 mi from me anyway. A large ship carrying Rocket parts for Nasa crashed into and took out most of a bridge at the other end of Marshall Co KY, just on the other side of the county from me.

I was at work about 8:15 when a customer said her hubby just texted her and said according to the scanners a boat hit the Eggner's Ferry Bridge in Aurora KY and it fell. I'm thinking "OK this could be just gossip" until a few min later another regular said his daughter called him who works on the boats and said the same thing.

Luckily all cars made it off the bridge safely and noone was hurt. This bridge had 5 huge sections and the boat took out two. Trust me, it's amazing to see- go to http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/27/eggner-ferry-bridge_n_1237222.html?ref=mostpopular to see the story and pics. They're copyrighted so I can't post them here but it shows the half bridge, the boat with most of the bridge laying on it roadway and all and everything.

It's a miracle noone was hurt or killed.
