    The 320-meter-long (1,000-ft), 42-meter-high (138-ft) bridge spanning the Tuo river in Fenghuang county, Hunan province, fell down during the evening rush hour on Monday, as the workers were stripping the scaffolding.

    According to Xinhua, at least 123 workers were at the site of the arched concrete bridge, which was to have been completed this month and cost 12 million yuan to build. About 60 workers were on the bridge itself when it collapsed.

    The bridge disaster occurred days after the death toll from the Interstate 35W bridge’s August 1 collapse into the Mississippi River in Minneapolis was raised to nine. (source)
