Collapsed Florida pedestrian bridge (UPDATE)

A pedestrian bridge across the Street from Florida International University has collapsed with people on it.  This bridge was just installed Saturday. It is believed around  5 vehicles were crushed. There  are 6 deaths with 5 bodies not recovered yet.  It is expected that more will be found as the debris is removed. It is now a recovery operation. The cause of the collapse remains unknown.

Please pray for the victims, their families and friends. If you do not pray, please keep them in your positive thoughts.
