A powerful earthquake shook the region without warning, causing widespread panic. In the midst of the chaos, one of the city’s main bridges gave way, collapsing into the river below while it was crowded with pedestrians and vehicles. Eyewitnesses described hearing a deafening crack before the structure plunged into the water, leaving screams echoing through the air.
Emergency services rushed to the scene, battling aftershocks and unstable debris as they worked to rescue survivors. Many were trapped under twisted metal and chunks of concrete, while others clung desperately to what remained of the structure. Rescue teams, aided by divers and helicopters, struggled against time as the sun began to set.
Authorities have confirmed multiple casualties, with dozens more still missing. Officials are urging residents to stay away from damaged areas as the risk of further collapses remains high. The disaster has left the community in shock, and questions are now being raised about the bridge’s safety inspections and the preparedness of the city for such natural catastrophes.
