A 120 meter section of a new road being constructed near us that will relieve congestion on the main Chugoku Expressway, collapsed this afternoon. Could here sirens for an hour, but not knowing what it was all about. Hubby found out about it when he took the car to our mechanic to get a new battery about 6:00 pm

Sara and I drove right under this section on Tuesday. I marveled at the way these elevated roads are constructed. The link above is to a short video, in English, taken about 6:30 pm. Very tragic.
