A BRIDGE TOO FAR These are the dramatic pictures capturing the moment China's famous Jiujiang Bridge collapsed into the murky waters below. The 1, 682-meter long road crossing was packed with vehicles on Friday when a sand-laden boat plowed into one of its central supports. The collision saw the bridge in the country's Guangdong province plunge into the brown current and onto the bow of the boat, partially submerging it. Miraculously all 10 crew members were rescued, and only two needed hospital treatment for minor cuts and bruises. Police are questioning all on board as part of the investigation into the accident. Meanwhile divers and 10 boats are searching the water for vehicles and people that may have fallen in. None have been recovered yet. (SH/WN/)
