Vietnam's President Nguyen Minh Triet (R) shakes hands with nurses as he visits injured victims of a collapsed bridge at a hospital in Vietnam's Mekong Delta's Can Tho city September 27, 2007. Rescue workers found eight more bodies on Thursday in the rubble of a bridge which collapsed killing up to 60 people in Vietnam's worst accident, officials said. Rescuers toiled through the night cutting away steel scaffolding and concrete in the Mekong Delta where a section of a Japanese-funded bridge under construction collapsed on Wednesday while 250 workers were on the site.
