The newly released video of the bridge collapse moment in Italy left 43 people dead

The video recorded by the security camera shows that the scene below Morandi bridge turns into rubble after only a few seconds.

According to RT, the video was released by Genoa police, showing the scene of the Morandi bridge collapsing in a crowded area.

While the car is moving below, part of the bridge suddenly collapses. A white truck fell from above to the ground while the sprawling concrete engulfed everything.

The Italian government threatened to remove the operation license of the operator and maintain a series of bridges and highways, Autostrade per l'Italia.

According to Italian magazine l'Espresso, engineers warned the Ministry of Transport and the company Autostrade per l'Italia in February, that corrosion had weakened the cable car system on the bridge by 20%.

So far, at least 43 people have been killed and still 9 people were injured after the bridge collapse. More than 600 people living nearby are forced to evacuate and risk being settled elsewhere.

The prosecutor's office in Genoa considered the accident due to human error. The investigating agency will consider the prosecution of the bridge management and operation unit.

Morandi Bridge was built around the 1960s and was recently remodeled 2 years ago. The bridge is designed at a height of 45m above the ground.

One witness said RT that he heard a loud explosion when the bridge collapsed.'The tremor blew me 10 meters away. I was banged on the wall and didn't remember anything, 'the man said. Many other witnesses described the bridge collapse as the "apocalyptic" scene .
