MINNEAPOLIS - An elite team of Navy divers joined the search for victims of the interstate bridge collapse Tuesday, bringing to the job lessons learned from such disasters as TWA Flight 800 and the loss of the space shuttle Columbia.

The team of 16 divers and a five-member command crew arrived hours before dawn Tuesday, and several divers immediately entered the Mississippi River even though local officials encouraged them to wait until daybreak.

1. "It has taken longer than 3 days for a search for people to begin"

The key word in your subject line is "join". The search has been going on since minutes after the collapse.

Edit: clarification
