No escape

The recent collapse of a bridge in Minnesota (U.S.) was tragic but it has served to remind that that nation is one of many peoples and cultures. Among the victims were Julia Blackhawk, a Native American from the Winnebago tribe, and Artemio Trinidad-Mena, a Mexican. Among the missing is Somali immigrant Sadiya Sahal and her 20-month-old daughter, Hana. Also missing is Christine Sacorafas who was on her way to a local Greek Orthodox Church to teach kids Greek folk dance. It does make one wonder about fate and what congregated them all on the bridge when it went down.
