The death toll, the numbers of injured and missing victims are different from different sources, obscuring information about the Can Tho bridge collapse. Meanwhile, death is real and human life is not a joke.
On September 27 in the evening, the death toll was defined to be 48 and some workers could be still under concrete with the faint hope of survival.
Meanwhile, the death toll reported to President Nguyen Minh Triet at noon on the same day was 43. After that, rescue workers found five more bodies.
On the night of September 26, when Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Trung Hai arrived at the site of incident, the contractor told him the death toll was 37. At the same time, the death toll collected by VietNamNet Bridge reporters at Military Hospital 121 was 43.
At 3.50 on September 26, major-general Tran Phi Ho, Deputy Commander of Military Zone 9, who led rescue work, told reporters that there were 47 dead already. Several minutes later, he said that the figure was 49, with two more bodies found.
This morning, September 28, Nguyen Van Cong, spokesman for the Transport Ministry, told AP that the death toll was 46, with 82 injured and 7 missing.
Thus, the death toll has decreased while more bodies have been found.
According to the latest statistics provided by the spokesman of the Transport Ministry the number is 135, while the number that the contractor told Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai is 128.
So what is the exact number of workers who were working at the construction site when the tragedy happened?
While that question has not been answered yet, the number of victims is changing, worrying people, especially the families with members working for the Can Tho bridge project.
My Hoa commune, in Binh Minh district, Vinh Long province is the place suffering the most from the bridge collapse since many villagers work for this project. On September 27, 22 funerals were held in this commune.
The General Department of Police on September 27 began to search the site of the incident to seek the reason for the collapse. Representatives of the contractor and builders were convened to serve inspection.
More than 200 policemen of the General Department of Police and many local policemen are at the site to seek the remaining victims, protect the site and keep security there.
