Sorry to hear that Marco.

I hope that the injured will recover quickly and that there will be no more fatalities.

Best regards,


Joe

Fortunately only one dead...
But the damage occured to houses up zo several miles away from the incident. Most injuries from scattered windows and burning sunshades.
May the injured get well fast

Unfortunately this phrase has been proven true this morning:

A motorway viaduct (A10) crashed onto a suburb of Genova. Dozens of victims.

In fact...as you can see by the vids.....not all...but it collapsed on the very important railway link ( tre tri-angle of Genova) for the traffic to the north-east...especially to France and UK.....a pray for the victims

From the pictures I thought it had hit only the river and not the railway-tracks...
Must be horrible seeing the bridge collapse on or under you...

And as a bystander.. hearing that it should have been redone years ago...
