A bridge under construction has tragically collapsed leaving at least 29 people dead in a Chinese tourist town. Questions are still being asked on exactly what the cause of the collapse was, however the case is obviously being dealt with as an ‘accident’

“The whole thing collapsed,” said one of two survivors in a 12-man construction team working under the bridge.

“There was no time to warn the other workers and I just managed to run a few steps before I was covered under the stones,” He said in a telephone interview from the Fenghuang Chinese Medicine Hospital, where he was being treated for severe pain in his abdomen.

“I crawled to the road nearby and an ambulance came in 10 minutes. I was rescued.”
