OK barge-bridge collision and collapse

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

A few people asked the interstate-40 bridge collapse in Oklahoma across
the Arkansas river.  11 and possible as many as 20 people are believed
dead.

Although I-40 is a major cross-country interstate, the bridge collapse
had no apparent impact on cross-country telecommunications traffic.  I'm
not aware of any fiber routes across that bridge.
