"It Seemed Like A Movie"

Minneapolis, Minnesota--Rescue turned into recovery this morning as Recovery workers will begin searching at dawn for victims missing in a massive bridge collapse that killed at least seven people and sent dozens of vehicles plunging into the Mississippi River.

Catherine Yankelevich, 29, was on the bridge when "it started shaking, cars started flying and I was falling and saw the water," she said.

Her car was in the river when she climbed out the driver's side window and swam to shore uninjured.

"It seemed like a movie, it was pretty scary," said Yankelevich, who is from California and survived the 1994 Northridge earthquake.

"I never expected anything like this to happen here," she said.
