[시사뷰타임즈] 컬람비어(콜롬비아)에서 건설 중인 다리가 붕괴되면서 최소한 일꾼 9명이 죽었고 5명은 부상을 입었다.
치라자라에서 건설 중인 이 교량은 수도 보고타와 비야비센시오 시를 잇는 고속도로의 일부가 될 예정이었다.
현장에서 찍은 사진은 450m 길이의 이 교량 중 많은 부분이 그 아래 산골짜기 위에 놓여져 있는 것을 보여준다.
수송부 장관 게르만 카르도나는 “비극”이라고 하면서 붕괴의 원인을 조사할 것이라고 했다.
루이스 알바라도는 엘 티엠포 지에 “모든 이가 다리가 무너지고 있다고 고함을 지르고 있었고 난 아무 것도 할 시간이 없었으며 머리에 한 방을 얻어맞는 느낌이었다”고 했다.
건설 관계자들은 간부들은 안전에 대한 설명을 듣고 있었기에 다리가 붕괴되는 순간 교량 위엔 다행히도 일뿐이 많지를 않았었다고 말했다.

A motorway bridge under construction in Colombia has collapsed, killing at least nine workers and injuring five others.
The bridge in Chirajara was to be part of a highway connecting the capital, Bogotá, with the city of Villavicencio.
Photos from the scene show a large part of the 450m-long bridge lying in the ravine below.
Transport Minister Germán Cardona spoke of a "tragedy" and said the cause of the collapse would be investigated.

The bridge was due to be finished in June, officials said
One of the workers injured in the collapse described the moment it happened.
"Everyone started shouting that the bridge was falling, I didn't have time to do anything and then I felt a blow to my head," Luis Alvarado told El Tiempo newspaper.
Construction officials said that fortunately not many workers were on the bridge at the time of the collapse as staff were receiving a safety briefing.
