Last night during a heavy down pour, a metal bridge which leads to students hostels in Abubakar Tafawa Balewa university Bauchi Gubi campus collapsed while students were returning from night class. About 4 students drowned and died, others are still missing, some are receiving treatment at the hospital...

Search for missing students is still on going...
More Info still under way....

Could they have jumped into the river or pushed aside by other colleagues? May their souls rest in peace. Anyway, most people do loss calmness and react wrongly during accidents.
Holding strongly to any member of the steel structure would have saved more as can be seen that the bridge is still hanging.

On a lighter mood, the width of that river looks like what long jumpers can easily do. So how much will it cost to construct a reliable and standard structure across that canal?
