美国佛州在建天桥坍塌 四人死亡

A pedestrian bridge that was under construction collapsed onto a busy Miami highway Thursday afternoon, killing at least four people, authorities said.

周四下午,美国佛罗里达州一座正在建造中的人行天桥发生坍塌,造成至少四人死亡。

Search-and-rescue crews worked into the night, using dogs, search cameras and sensitive listening devices in a frantic search to find survivors among the debris.

“Everybody is working hard to make sure we rescue anyone who can be rescued,” Florida Gov. Rick Scott said.

But Miami-Dade police director Juan Perez said hopes were dwindling as the hours passed.

“We know that there’s going to be a negative outcome at the end of the day,” Perez said.

Four people were found dead amid the chaotic scene, and nine victims were taken “early on” to hospitals, Fire Chief Dave Downey said without elaborating on their conditions.

The partially built 950-ton (860-metric ton) bridge had been assembled by the side of the highway and moved into place Saturday to great fanfare. The span stretched almost 200 feet (60 meters) to connect Florida International University with the city of Sweetwater. It was expected to open to foot traffic next year.

“This bridge was about goodness, not sadness,” said FIU President Mark Rosenberg. “Now we’re feeling immense sadness, uncontrollable sadness.”
