A newly built bridge in China has partially collapsed just months after its grand opening, shocking residents and raising questions about the nation’s infrastructure standards. The 2,500-foot Hongqi Bridge, located in Sichuan province, crumbled after a landslide struck the mountain where it stood.
Video from the scene shows a massive wall of debris crashing down, sending dust and rubble flying as parts of the bridge tumbled into the river below. Authorities say no casualties have been reported, but the footage has sparked widespread concern.
