Bridge Support Collapses After Earthquake — But Tragedy Averted

A recent earthquake shook the region, causing part of a bridge support to collapse. Thankfully, only the outer concrete layer gave way, leaving the core structure mostly intact. Because of early warnings, traffic had already decreased, helping prevent injuries or worse.

Emergency crews quickly responded and confirmed no vehicles were trapped under the debris. Engineers are now working on repairs and upgrades to strengthen the bridge against future quakes.

The event has sparked calls for stricter building standards and better maintenance, especially in areas prone to seismic activity. In the meantime, the local community and authorities are teaming up to rebuild — a testament to their resilience and readiness in the face of disaster.
