Minnesota Bridge Collapse Will Yield Stories of Triumph

The horrible news about the bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota
reminds us once again how tenuous life can be and how on any given day
tragedy can strike (info here).
However, we can all be grateful that the disaster was not worse. And out of this situation we again will see stories of triumph as people go above and beyond to help those in need.
There is a very active group of personal historians in the Minneapolis area. These Minnesotans belong to the APH (Association of Personal Historians) and they've done a lot to educate the public about the importance of preserving their life stories. In particular, the Got Stories project has demonstrated how a group of life story specialists can collaborate on projects. I, for one, will not be surprised to see in the future some compelling stories by this group about people who witnessed or were touched personally by the collapse of the Minnesota bridge.
