they are saying at least 6 dead but they don't know for sure because they are pinned under something like 900 tons of concrete. sad stuff. must be horrible for the families knowing they are pinned under there.
The newly-constructed bridge collapsed at the school in Miami on Thursday afternoon, killing six people and crushing eight vehicles underneath.
The bridge, which initially was expected to be completed in 2019 but opened last week, was supposed to serve as a safe passageway for people walking from the university to the city of Sweetwater.
While it's not yet clear what exactly caused the $14.2 million bridge to collapse as investigations remain ongoing, Florida's Department of Transportation on Friday said it had received a voicemail from an engineer earlier in the week notifying the agency of a crack in the bridge's concrete — but saying he didn't believe there was a safety risk.
