Bridge collapses dumping people and vehicles in the water. Funny thing is that me and voltage drove over this bridge not more than three weeks ago. It's in a small city about an hour north of seattle. We went there for the annual tulip festival, where fields and fields of beautiful tulips of every color are grown. One of WA spring attractions.

Lol I'm sorry I can't imagine two Somali guys going to such a festival :lol:

It's interesting seeing qadr in action though. Was once one suburb away from a deadly bushfire after a friend got us lost.

y'all don't understand how peaceful and serene nature can be. Wallahi I do not regret it for one bit, it was a beautiful day, fun drive, and the scenery is absolutely amazing. I'm definitely going to do more stuff like this.

lilly, It's mostly Washington and Oregon, up here in the northwest. Afterwards the tulips get harvested and sent abroad to Asian markets.

Bro my boss lives in Bellingham and makes the trip on that bridge everyday, he didn't show up today so I called and dude was shaking up, he said the bridge collapsed like half an hour after he crossed it and traffic was heavy.

Anyone die?

It should be burnt. Invasive species like the tulip are damaging to the ecosystem.

I was going to ask if your life flashed before your eyes. Instead, tulips flashed in front of mine :|

When I heard about it, I instantly thought about what would happen because God knows I still haven't learned how to swim. I don't think I would have turned out so well. Two summmers ago canoe I was on tipped over and even with life jacket I might as well have drowned.

As the Tulip Festival it was a great drive and experience. Whether it is that or hiking or nature should always been seen at its finest. Some of you guys seem a little insecure if not a little imprssionable.
