At least 35 people killed in Genoa bridge collapse, Italian police announce

MILAN - At least 35 people were killed when a bridge collapsed in the Italian port city of Genoa, police said on Wednesday after firemen worked through the night looking for any survivors buried under the rubble.
"The latest official number is 35 but we can't rule out it could rise further," a spokeswoman for the police in Genoa said.
A 50-meter (160-foot) high section of the Morandi bridge, including a tower that anchored several stays, crashed down with as many as 35 vehicles driving on it on Tuesday. Huge slabs of reinforced concrete plunged onto two warehouses, train tracks and a riverbed.
