Morandi Bridge in Genoa collapses.


A 50 year old bridge which spans over a kilometer crossed the Polcevera stream, in Genoa, Italy - between the districts of Sampierdarena and Cornigliano - has suffered a major structural failure and has fallen down over the industrial area of Sampierdarena .

Here is a picture of it when it was fully operational: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/09/Ponte_Morandi.jpg

Dozens are feared dead, injured or trapped and it seems to be making a lot of news across various global networks right now.
