What was supposed to be a symbol of progress and connection turned into a scene of chaos and heartbreak.
Just days after its grand opening, the city’s brand-new skybridge — a modern architectural marvel linking two major downtown buildings — suddenly collapsed during the busy morning rush hour.
Witnesses say they first heard a loud cracking sound, followed by screams as the glass and steel structure gave way beneath dozens of pedestrians. Within seconds, what had once been a proud landmark became a twisted heap of metal and shattered glass.
Emergency crews rushed to the scene, pulling survivors from the wreckage and racing against time to save lives. The area was soon filled with sirens, dust, and tears — a moment that no one in the city will ever forget.
Authorities have confirmed multiple injuries and several fatalities, though the exact number has not yet been released. Investigations are already underway to determine whether structural flaws, rushed construction, or negligence played a role in the disaster.
City officials have called the event “a dark day for our community,” while families of the victims are left searching for answers — and justice.
What was meant to unite the city has instead left it broken. 🕯️
