Italy: 39 Killed in Bridge Collapse in Genoa
--------------------------------------------

In Italy, at least 39 people were killed when a bridge collapsed in
Genoa Tuesday, sending dozens of vehicles tumbling 150 feet. The cause
of the collapse is not yet known, but many residents are calling on the
head of the company that operated the bridge to resign. The Morandi
Bridge was the fifth bridge to collapse in Italy in five years.
