India mourns after Gujarat bridge collapse

Al Jazeera  

Officials pledge to take action for bridge collapse that killed 141, but some believe investigation is turning into a cover up. There were among at least 141 people who died when the Morbi bridge – a 143-year-old, newly renovated suspension bridge in the western Indian state of Gujarat – collapsed on Sunday. I got absolutely scared.” ‘Politics has taken over’ The 1.25-metre wide and 233-metre long pedestrian suspension bridge was inaugurated in 1879 under British colonial rule. Local media reported that the company had reopened the bridge to the public without obtaining a “fitness certificate”. “Two are managers of Oreva company, two ticket clerks along with two contractors and three security guards for negligence.” Officials estimate that about 500 people had gathered on the bridge to enjoy the last day of the Hindu Diwali festival but that it was only designed to take 100 to 150 people at a time.
