Why the 35W Bridge Collapsed

As many of you are probably very well aware of, the 35W bridge located just north of St. Paul collapsed last week. That very night Pastor John Piper gave a wonderful reflection located here. In essense, Pastor John briefly exegeted Luke 13, noting that just as the tower of Siloam fell to enable sinners to have more time to repent, so also the 35W bridge collapsed so that we too would turn and repent. In my estimation, this response is biblically sound, and thoroughly orthodox to boot!
Here is a response to Pastor John from Greg Boyd, pastor of Woodlands Hills Church in White Bear Lake. Due to lack of time, I am unable to write a long critique of his response. If Pastor John deems it most wise not to respond, I may offer some insights next week when I return from camp. Until then, any thoughts?
