Kimberly Brown, a passenger in a car on the way to a soccer game, and other survivors who went down with the Interstate 35W bridge say their needs are being forgotten.


[..]Brown said in an interview Thursday evening that she wants leaders to set aside blame and help people simply because they need it. She said she wants survivors to recoup what they're losing because of the collapse.


"I want these innocent people ... taken care of by the entities that were in charge, or partially in charge, of that bridge," she wrote in her letter. "And not just today, but months and years from now.
"It's time to slow down and back up," she wrote. "Your new bridge is going up too fast. You still have a huge mess from the old one. Fix this."
