Death toll in bridge collapse rises to 64

FENGHUANG, Hunan: The death toll in the bridge collapse in Central China's Hunan Province rose to 64 after rescuers found more bodies on Saturday.

The rescue headquarters said about 152 people were working on the bridge when it collapsed on the afternoon of August 13. Twenty-two of them have been injured.

But a source with the rescue headquarters said final figures of the dead and missing can be known only after the rescue work is over. It's difficult to know the exact number of people working on the bridge when it collapsed because they were part of seven construction teams, with some being casual laborers.
