Typhoon Yagi collapses busy bridge in Vietnam

# A busy bridge in northern Vietnam has collapsed in the wake of super typhoon Yagi. At least three people have been rescued and 13 are missing after the Phong Chau bridge collapsed. Part of the 375-metre structure is still standing, and the military has been instructed to build a pontoon bridge as soon as possible. Yagi is Asia’s most powerful storm this year. It has killed more than 60 people since it made landfall in Vietnam on Saturday. More than 240 people have been injured, while some 1.5-million are still without power.
