A motorway bridge has collapsed in the northwest Italian city of Genoa, sending vehicles plummeting up to 90m (295ft) to the ground and killing at least 22 people, officials say.
Video footage appears to show one of the towers holding up the suspension bridge collapsing in stormy weather.
Vehicles fell along with bridge debris on to rail tracks and a warehouse.

I saw this earlier this morning. Tragic. Prayers to all involved.

Horrendous. I've read at CNN earlier that the death toll is 3 dozen or more.

[Sir Slash]

Terrible indeed. Hoping the numbers are very wrong.

Latest has been rounded down to ~26.

Seeing what a patchwork of "fixes" that the Sunshine Skyway is, I think about collapse every time I cross it.  There are no good allowable terms for shoddy engineering anymore.
