CCTV footage shows moment when Gujarat bridge collapses in India

CCTV footage captures the moment a colonial-era pedestrian bridge packed with revellers in western India collapses into the river below, killing at least 137 people. The footage shows the structure in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat swaying -- with a few people apparently deliberately rocking it -- before suddenly giving way. Authorities said nearly 500 people were celebrating the last day of the #Diwali festival on and around the nearly 150-year-old suspension bridge in #Morbi when supporting cables snapped after dark on Sunday, October 30.
