Viral footage captured the moment that an entire section of a newly constructed bridge in China’s Sichuan province
collapsed Tuesday, just months after it officially opened.

The 758-metre Hongqi Bridge, part of a major national highway linking China’s interior with Tibet, gave way after

heavy landslides struck the surrounding mountainside, authorities in Maerkang city told Reuters.

Videos circulating on social media show the moment the bridge gave way, with dust billowing upward before the road

fell hundreds of meters.
