Bridge Collapse in India Kills at Least 141 Pedestrians
-------------------------------------------------------

In India, at least 141 people were killed after a bridge collapsed in
the western state of Gujarat Sunday. The 19th-century bridge gave way
under the weight of pedestrians, plunging hundreds of people into the
Machchu River below. The colonial-era bridge had been open to the public
for just four days, after undergoing repairs by a private company.
