MINNEAPOLIS - “Eighty-One Minutes: After the Bridge Collapsed” is a new, permanent exhibit at the Firefighters Hall and Museum focusing on the actions of first responders when the I-35W bridge fell in downtown Minneapolis.
The exhibit, which opened June 30, tells the story of the speedy response to rescue the victims of the bridge collapse: within 81 minutes, all survivors had been transported to local hospitals.

The exhibit includes photographs from the Star Tribune and other sources, as well as rescuers’ written statements and survivors’ written statements and video clips.
