bridge collapse

One researcher says it has become "standard" for any unexpected event "to be run through a filter of conspiracy theories based on the personal brand of the person spreading the theory."

Officials said 10 people suffered minor injuries and at least three were taken to the hospital after the collapse, which appears to have involved several vehicles and a Port Authority bus.

Video shows a truck driving across the bridge in Taiwan's Su'ao township, in the island's northeast. Weather conditions just before the arch bridge gives way appear to be postcard-worthy.

Forty-three people died when a section of the Morandi bridge collapsed last August. Since then, the bridge that was once an icon of the Italian city has served mainly as a reminder of the tragedy.

Deputy Prime Minister Luigi Di Maio said a private company responsible for maintaining the Ponte Morandi Bridge did not do its job and was responsible for the collapse.

The shutdown affects a roughly 3-mile portion of I-85, blocking a major artery that runs through the heart of the city.
