The Independent|October 31, 2022
At least 81 people have died after a suspension bridge collapsed in India, plunging hundreds of people into a river below and leaving others clinging to what remained of the structure. The 230m bridge in the western state of Gujarat had been closed for six months and was reopened just last week. It was built during British colonial rule in the 1800s.
