But never fear. The Ironman didn't sink. He just needed time to compose himself and he was back on the block for the third event, the 200-yard freestyle.

Pessimists think it only a matter of time before the plan comes under renewed threat. "Once...
...seven-lane bridge linking Seattle to its eastern suburbs across Lake Washington was closed twice after the collapse of an adjacent 50-year-old pontoon bridge. The 110,000 commuters depending on the link were forced to clog an alternate bridge or detour 30 miles. Property losses are expected to rise well above $100 million.
