Multiple workers dead after bridge in China collapses
At least 12 people are dead after a railway bridge that was under construction in China collapsed.
Four others are missing, according to state media. Sixteen workers were on the bridge in Qinghai province when a steel cable snapped during a "tensioning operation" at roughly 3am on Friday, according to the Xinhua News Agency.
The bridge was being built on the Qinghai section of the Sichuan-Qinghai Railway. Aerial photos show a large section missing from the bridge's curved aquamarine arch, while a bent portion of the bridge deck, which usually sits around 55m above the surface of the Yellow River, hangs downward.
Twenty-seven boats, a helicopter and five robots were being used to search for the missing workers, along with over 800 personnel and 91 vehicles, according to the English-language newspaper China Daily..
