Bridge collapse kills 11 people
Sunarbowo Sandi, head of the search-and-rescue team, said some of the victims are believed trapped in buses and cars that crashed into the murky Mahakam river below.
The 700-metre structure — built to resemble the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco — collapsed over the weekend after a steel support cable snapped while repair work was being done.
The 10-year-old bridge linked the towns of Tenggarong and Samarinda in East Kalimantan province.
Sandi said, so far, 11 bodies have been pulled from the muddy waters, but that poor visibility has hampered efforts to locate the 33 people still missing.
