A long section of the Morandi Bridge near Genoa has collapsed killing at least 35 people. The search is on for survivors. The collapse happened right after a violent storm, which may have caused the bridge disaster.
“The image is truly apocalyptic,” Matteo Pucciarelli, a journalist reporting on the disaster, said in a video posted to the website of the newspaper La Repubblica. “It’s as if a bomb had fallen on this very important artery.”
