A peaceful morning turned tragic when a suspension bridge suddenly collapsed, sending people and vehicles into the river below. At least 30 lives were lost, with many others injured or missing. Witnesses heard cables snap before the structure gave way. Emergency crews rushed in, rescuing survivors from water and debris while hospitals declared mass-casualty alerts.
The bridge, once a beloved landmark, became a symbol of grief as the community held vigils and memorials. Investigations began into possible structural failures, including cable fatigue and maintenance issues.
As recovery continues, the tragedy highlights the urgent need for stronger infrastructure safety, while communities unite to heal and rebuild.
