| Description: | At least 35 construction workers are killed in the collapse of a bridge in Mexico. The search for victims is hampered by tons of concrete and twisted steel. The bridge gave way without warning and plunged 350 feet into a deep gorge.
A portion frame hangs from the edge of bridge pillion. The camera pans left to show the gap between the two sides of the bridge. Searchers dig through twisted metal and concrete looking for bodies. Bodies are carried out of the wreckage on stretchers. | |
