The death toll in the bridge fracture accident in India rose to 141, and the rescue progress was slow.
On October 31, India's Gujarat Interior Minister Hash Sangerhavi said that the death toll in the bridge fracture accident in the state has risen to 141. According to local media reports, a Racquet bridge in Gujarat, western India suddenly broke on the 30th, and many people fell into the river, including many women and children. According to reports, the cable bridge is 230 meters long and has a history of about a hundred years. It was recently renovated and reopened to the public on the 26th of this month.
A local official said the reason for the bridge break may be overload. According to witnesses, about 400 people gathered on the bridge at the time of the incident, and some people tried to shake in the middle of the bridge, making it difficult for people to walk. The river water depth at the scene was 3 to 10 meters, not too deep. The local temperature was above 20 degrees Celsius. The water temperature was not a problem when it was launched. The biggest problem with the search and rescue was that the water was too turbid. The river water under the bridge was filled with water hyacinths. Starting from October 31, more than a dozen rubber boats searched everywhere on the not very wide water surface, but the search and rescue made no major progress.
