Front Page of the Day
Fenghuang Bridge is falling downPosted by Banyue, August 15, 2007 4:43 PM
Front Page of the Day is a daily review of the news on the front page of one Chinese newspaper, selected from a newsstand in Beijing's central business district. At 4pm on August 13, a bridge in Fenghuang County, Hunan Province collapsed while under construction. The death toll has risen to 29 today, with 30 people still missing. The rescue effort continues, but because of hot weather and food shortages, hope is slim for the missing, according to the local rescue headquarters quoted in The Beijing News. The front page photo shows the scene of the tragedy. For further news, check out the Xinhua report. A second headline announces that two plane hijackers were repatriated to the mainland from Taiwan. They hijacked two civil aircraft to Taiwan in 1993 and 1994, respectively. Additionally, a front-page box reveals that during the traffic control days, August 17-20 (see earlier report), Beijing's public transport system is predicted to face total passenger volume of more than 2 million people per day. The subway will extend its running time by one hour, and buses will also increase their service.
