Sorry to hear that Marco.

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

Best regards,

I was reading about this on the bus home. I can only echo Joe's sentiments.

My Motorway nightmare

 Hi,
Video on YouTube are very impressive..the moment of the crash and the moment of the explosion....

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

No doubt are bad times about Italian motorways...no doubt!

Unfortunately this phrase has been proven true this morning:

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

I knew..I knew...
My phrase was about it..the crash bridge in Genova

Terrible. I fear there are fatalities.

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...

..if you go on youtube you can watch  the video made by Fire Brigade helicopter where can be seen clearly the rest of the bridge on railway tracks...

I have driven over this bridge on a few occassions. It is scaringly high!

So sorry for all those affected by this tragedy.
