This was sad to see.Â
In China, a new big and beautiful bridge collapsed, and it was captured on camera.
The moment that an entire section of a newly constructed bridge in China’s Sichuan province collapsed on Tuesday and was caught on camera, just months after it officially opened.
The 758-metre Hongqi Bridge, part of a major national highway linking China’s interior with Tibet, gave way after heavy landslides struck the surrounding mountainside, authorities in Maerkang city told Reuters.
Videos circulating on social media show the moment the bridge gave way, with dust billowing upward before the road fell hundreds of meters.
The Hongqi Bridge in Shuangjiangkou, Sichuan Province, China, partially collapsed today. Authorities believe that cracks in the nearby mountainside — likely caused by water accumulation from a nearby reservoir — played a major role in the incident. pic.twitter.com/v1bdbj5KLJ

What a disaster.
Chinese Engineering Failure- The 758-metre-long Hongqi bridge collapsed in southwest China, months after opening. China isn’t as smart as everyone makes them out to be. They couldn’t copy this design. The ground shifted on one of the approaches. Luckily it was noticed the day… pic.twitter.com/ZJDDdwgCP9

Looks as though China is having infrastructure problems, like the Biden administration had with Buttigieg, concerning bridges and train wrecks etc.
Can you say Karma? They should have left that Buddhist nation alone.
Too bad for the engineers that worked on this project, China has a history of executing people who embarrass the government.
