A crane clears away wreckage from a collapsed carriageway on Sunday in New Delhi, IndiaStory Highlights
- Five killed, 15 injured when partially built bridge collapses in New Delhi
- Bridge was being built for city's metro rail network
- Collapse occurred when a metal beam supporting pillars gave way, official says
The crash occurred when a metal beam supporting pillars gave way, Delhi Metro Rail Corp. spokesman Anuj Dayal told CNN.
Concrete slabs came crashing down, burying workers beneath, officials said.The dead included one site engineer, said Mohammad Akhlaque, police sub-inspector.
The man in charge of building the Metro system offered to quit the project Sunday."I take full moral responsibility for this accident. And having taken this moral responsibility, I have decided to resign as the managing director of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation," Elattuvalapil Sreedharan told a news conference.
Sreedharan, 77, however, noted that Sunday's crash would set the metro project back by three months.New Delhi launched its metro system six years ago, a project that cut through India's bureaucratic red-tape that usually holds back big infrastructure programs.
Construction on new lines has been proceeding at a frenzied pace as the city gets ready [its q&k time this fall/winter] to host the Commonwealth Games in 2010.Hailed as a relief in India's traffic-congested capital, the metro has a tarnished safety record.
Part of a another bridge being built to extend the rail system collapsed last October, pinning a bus underneath and killing its driver [yes, more like those double decker busses in London].
Watch as the bridges collapse and the old method of reaching a destination vanishes.
ReplyDeleteI have discovered that escapism is a very deadly and hard to kill habit that is highly addictive for the sheep. Since they have constantly been deprived of the responsibility, they have grown an affinity to ESCAPE REALITY. They will do ANYTHING to stay away from their problems and COMFRONT THEMSELVES. whether it is playing games, masturbating, eating sweet tasting poision, watching tv, going on YOUtube, or just thinking random retarded shit to entertain their mind.
They do not realize that all of this is TEARING AWAY at their MIND and LOGIC. Its just pitiful to see all of them take in the shit and ENJOY IT as much as they ENJOY THEIR LIES.
A calm mind with with no poisionous beliefs or unnecessary bullshit is a powerful mind.
It is essential to elar your mind of all of the brainwashing and lies, as well as destroy ALL habits that encourage the growth of the shit.
yup, there will be no escape from the Island of Quarantine, when the only way out of the bacteria's viral problem will be cut off from them.
ReplyDeleteAs the bridges go down, so shall they be stranded having only one other way out of the island of doom, by THINKING FOR THEMSELVES.
HAZEL PARK, Mich. -- A stretch of I-75 was expected to be shut down indefinitely after a gasoline tanker exploded Wednesday night near 9 Mile, causing the overpass on the northbound side to collapse.
