Atlanta : Workers building a soaring pedestrian bridge plunged dozens of feet today when the structure collapsed at the Atlanta Botanical Garden, killing one worker and injuring 18 others, according to AP.
The workers were all atop the canopy walk, an elevated pathway that reaches up to 40 feet (12 meters) high, when it gave way around 9 a.m., Atlanta fire officials said.
Joggers, dog walkers and others were in an adjacent park, but no visitors were in the area of the collapse, authorities said.
Authorities had few details of what caused the bridge to fall and Atlanta Fire Battalion Chief Ken Byers said it was uncertain whether concrete was being poured at the time, as was planned.
