[quote=JABAROOTOO,288509]May 15th Just going to air this afternoon as the weather begins to clear is aerial footage of the Min valley upstream from Dujiangyan. One span in the new 2km long bridge has collapsed. This new bridge may never have gone into service. When I passed through in both May and October 2007 it was nearing completion as waters backed up behind the new dam. From todays aerial photos it appears never to have been open to traffic. With one span between two pylons missing it may also have other structural damage. The old road around the location of the bridge is impassable with huge rock and mud slides blocking it at every turn. Rubber duckies and other water craft are being used to bypass this section. The PLA were parachuting into remote and inaccessible areas today and air dropping water and food to desperate survivors. The flyover showed many completely and partially collapsed farmhouses and other small buildings. [/quote]
