Officials In The Congo Opened A New Bridge But It Collapsed Right After They Cut The Ribbon

A newly opened bridge in the Democratic Republic of Congo collapsed right after officials inaugurated it.

Video showed the footbridge in the Congolese capital of Kinshasa buckling right after officials cut the ribbon on Monday Sep. 5.

The handrails can be seen falling off while the central section slumped into the stream below.

The crowd can be heard laughing as the VIPs struggled to get off the bridge.

No one was reported to have been injured, according to Reuters.
