According to Indian media reports, at around 6:30 pm local time on October 30, a collapse occurred in the Morbi cable bridge in Gujarat, India, and at least 91 people have died.

According to witnesses at the scene, the bridge deck suddenly broke from the middle at the time of the incident, and many people fell into the river unexpectedly, including women and children. From the scene footage taken by witnesses, we can see that the bridge body had severe distortions after it collapsed, and some people were struggling in the river, while those who could swim tried to save themselves. The local special investigation team said that the accident has killed at least 91 people, and some people are missing. The specific number of deaths is still under statistics.

This collapsed suspension bridge has a history of more than 100 years and is a famous internet celebrity bridge in the local area. What is infuriating is that the bridge has just been repaired this year. The local government took six months and spent 20 million rupees (about 1.76 million yuan). After the repair, it will be reopened to the public on October 26. I never thought that such a big tragedy would happen in a few days. Logically speaking, the suspension bridge after repair should be stronger and more solid. Is it another tofu project?

However, some insiders said that such a tragedy occurred because of the excessive load on the suspension bridge. The bridge originally allowed only 150 people to stand on it at one time, but when it collapsed, it was crowded with about 500 people, or even more. It seems that in addition to investigating the quality of the bridge's repair, major mistakes in the management of relevant departments are also worthy of deep thought.
