Bridge Collapses in Portugal, 77 People Missing

A 116-year-old bridge collapsed in northern Portugal at around 21:00 GMT Sunday and a coach carrying 67 people and two other vehicles with some 10 people plunged into the Douro river, according to Lusa News Agency report.

The report quoted rescue officials as saying there was little chance of finding survivors in the deep and fast-running river.
