Zawalenie mostu A7 wstrząsnęło wszystkimi. To, co miało być zwykłą rozbiórką, przerodziło się w tragiczną katastrofę. Jeden z pracowników stracił życie, a trzech innych zostało poważnie rannych. Społeczność lokalna nadal jest w szoku, zastanawiając się, jak mogła się zdarzyć taka tragedia. Incydent wzbudził poważne obawy dotyczące bezpieczeństwa budowy, wzywając władze do rewizji protokołów, by zapobiec kolejnym nieszczęściom. 🚧
It was an ordinary Tuesday morning when disaster struck. The A7 highway, a crucial link between cities, was the scene of a devastating tragedy. The bridge over the Meuse River, which had been in the process of demolition, suddenly gave way. What was supposed to be a controlled demolition turned into a catastrophic disaster.
Antoine Marchand, one of the first responders, shared his disbelief, «It was like watching a nightmare unfold in real time.» As the central section of the bridge crumbled, it took multiple cranes and construction equipment with it. Among those working, one man tragically lost his life. Three others were seriously injured. The mayor, still shaken, admitted, «It could have been much worse.»
Despite the dire situation, emergency teams acted swiftly. «Our biggest concern was the risk of a secondary collapse,» said Captain Bernard, who coordinated the rescue efforts. «But thanks to their bravery, all workers were rescued in time.»
The bridge, built in the 1950s, had shown signs of age for years. Pierre Lemaitre, the project director, explained, «Demolition was the only option left. The risk of keeping it standing was too great.»
As the town grieved, residents expressed their shock. «I pass that bridge every day. What if it had happened while I was on it?» asked one local driver.
This tragedy has sparked a deeper conversation about safety on construction sites and the steps needed to prevent such incidents from happening again. 🚧💔
