Hunt for bodies

GENOA: Rescue workers searched through tons of concrete and steel from the collapsed Genoa highway bridge for a fourth day yesterday as Italians buried the 38 victims of a disaster that has angered the public.

A fire among the rubble held up part of the operation, sending clouds of white smoke up before being extinguished.

The death toll from the collapse of 200 metres of the bridge on Tuesday, which sent vehicles plummeting 50m to the ground, is at 38, but officials say between 10 and 20 people may still be missing. – Reuters/ African News Agency (ANA)
