About 21 people were reportedly killed after a section of an uncompleted overhead bridge collapsed in a crowded area of the eastern Indian city of Kolkata, India on today, Thursday.
Dozens were reportedly trapped as rescue teams struggled to free survivors.
Rescuers were said to be using sniffer dogs and special cameras to find trapped people and used saws, small cranes, and their bare hands to dig through the wreckage in search of victims.
According to a police officer at the scene, Raichand Mohta,.”The condition is pathetic. At this moment no one has any clue how many people are trapped.
