Great tragedy in my city

[Roberta]

this morning (11.40 am) a viaduct collapsed in the west of my city (Genova). A tragedy
During all the day we monitored, through local TV, the news update.

Genova: decine di morti e dispersi, 440 gli sfollati. Il ponte crollato verrà demolito - Liguria

 

[Miss B]

Oh my goodness, how awful Roberta. Lightning can be devastating, and from what that article is reporting, more of the Viaduct can collapse. Sorry to hear this Roberta, and I hope you and yours are safely away from that area of the city.

 

[Roberta]

Thank you Miss B, the bridge (age 50) had continuous adjustment work. There will be many things to say during the investigation.....

 

[Alisa]

My heart is with all the people of Genova, Roberta.

Oh, how awful. My sympathies. Bridge collapses are always so scary for everyone (even if you don't know one of the victims), especially if its one that you travel on a lot and realize that that could have been the day you were there.

 

[Janet]

So sorry to hear this. What a tragedy.

I seen that on the news and then googled up on the history of Genoa. It's a terrible disaster, my sympathies and prayers offered.

 

[Miss B]

I just saw the report on the news here a few minutes ago. Just terrible.

 

[mininessie]

yes i hear that yesterday!
i´m sorry for all the victims and their families ...i hope the people in the hospital will recover soon!
big hugs Roberta!!!

 

[Roberta]

in addition to human losses, a very long period of "loss" of work is expected; it will hit the traffic that link with the container aeroport. In times of great economic crisis this is an even harsher blow...

The New York Times had an article about it today with a video of the actual moment of the collapse, but I didn't watch it.

Good thoughts going out to the city of Genova, as cleaning and repairing this is going to be a huge project going forward.

Roberta, and my sympathies to the people of your city.

Today the funeral of State

How strange to find this terrible news about my town here on Hivewire 3D, too. I did not expect to be other people from Genova (Genoa, in English language) here, @Roberta. It is unfortunate to find it out because of such an event.

 

[Roberta]

Ciao @Riccardo, sì, sono giorni veramente tristi

I saw this on the news the other night. How terrible!
