Several men shaking a suspension bridge were caught on camera moments before the bridge collapsed, killing 133 people. A witness said “a noise came” from the bridge three times before the collapse. The “engineering marvel” reopened to the public on October 26 after being renovated without first receiving certification or safety checks.
From The Blaze:
Chief Officer of Morbi Municipality Sandeepsinh Zala stated that the bridge reopened after renovation on the Gujarati New Year day celebrated on October 26, despite allegedly not having yet received any "fitness certificate" from the local government. ... Officials indicated that at least nine people have been arrested so far in connection with the tragic collapse: two Oreva Group managers, two contractors, two ticket clerks, and three security guards, all booked for negligence. According to India Today, the Oreva Group, responsible for maintaining the bridge, is now seeking to pin blame on a third party, Devprakash Solutions, which it alleged had been subcontracted to complete the restoration.
