WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House said Thursday that an inspection two years ago found structural deficiencies in the highway bridge that buckled during evening rush hour in Minneapolis.
White House press secretary Tony Snow said the 40-year-old Interstate 35W span rated 50 on a scale of 120 for structural stability.
"This doesn't mean there was a risk of failure, but if an inspection report identifies deficiencies, the state is responsible for taking corrective actions," he said.
First lady Laura Bush will visit Minneapolis on Friday to console the victims of the fallen bridge, which buckled during evening rush hour Wednesday, killing at least four people and sending dozens of cars plummeting into the Mississippi River.

Na man, Imma white bitch from MN and I gotta say... I agree w/ you, the shit is fucked up... no doubt, but this is the kinda world we live in. I believe the MN bridge incident was horrible, don't get me wrong, but when you compare it to a disaster like Katrina and see the differences of the two and see how they were both responded to... wow, just makes you realize how fucked up this world really is.
R.I.P to those that lost their lives...
