1 . NEW DELHI—Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Tuesday inspected the bridge collapse site in the western state of Gujarat, where more than 100 people were killed, officials said. Ahead of the visit, Modi chaired a high-level meeting on Monday night during which he was briefed about rescue efforts.
The century-old British-era pedestrian suspension bridge (吊桥) collapsed on Sunday evening, with hundreds of people falling into Machchhu River in Morbi town, about 241 km west of the capital city, Gandhinagar. Reports said that 177 people were rescued and over 100 people were undergoing treatment at the Morbi civil hospital.
Soon after the bridge visit, Modi reached the civil hospital in Morbi to meet the injured. The prime minister was seen asking the survivors about their health. According to officials, search and rescue operations, carried out by teams of the State Disaster Response Force and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), the Indian navy, the Indian air force and the Indian army, were called off (取消) on Monday evening and began again on Tuesday morning. Officials said Modi also met with those involved in rescue and relief operations.
The local government of Gujarat has already ordered an investigation into the deadly collapse of the bridge. The bridge is a popular tourist attraction in the area. It was shut for renovation (整修) for seven months and was open for the public on Oct 26, the Gujarati New Year.
Reports said that around 500 people, much beyond its capacity, were on the suspension bridge at the time when it crashed into the river.
Police have arrested nine people including officials of Oreva, the company that carried out the repair work, ticket sellers and security men. However, the owners of the company have not been arrested. Oreva group is actually a Gujarat-based watchmaker company. Reports said that the watchmaker reportedly outsourced (转包) the “technical aspect of the renovation” to a smaller construction company, Devprakash Solutions.
Oreva has been accused of violating multiple safety rules, leading to the huge tragedy just four days after the bridge reopened to the public. Questions have been raised over why Oreva with no experience in construction was given responsibility for maintaining a bridge.

Yesterday, when Chen Hui was pouring hot water, he poured a lot into his wrist by accident. Although he felt great pain, but he didn’t know what to do. I happened to see this and immediate gave him first aid. Firstly, I asked him place the burns under running water for 10 minutes. After that, I put some cloth in cold water, squeezed the water out and placed them on the burning area over and over again. Finally, I covered the burns with the clean bandage. Gradually, he felt much better, that made me happy and proud of myself.

7 . Michael Surrell was the last person who should have run into a burning building because he had lung disease. But that didn't stop him. He was reading in sofa when his daughter phoned to say, "The house next door is on fire!" He went to investigate, only to see two women unable to control their emotions on their porch.
"The baby girl's on the second floor!" one of the women cried. At the words, Surrell immediately ran inside. It was completely dark there. Yet, because the house had a similar layout to his, he found the stairs and made it to the second floor. He turned to the right and was met by intense heat. He was already out of breath.
His throat and lungs burned as if he'd breathed fire instead of the smoke in the air. All he could hear was the crackling and popping of burning wood. Then he heard a soft but clear moan (呻吟). He knew it was from the direction of the bedroom. Still unable to see, Surrell fell to his knees on the hot wood floor. He crawled toward the sound, feeling around for any sign of the girl.
Finally,he found the girl and caught her into his arms. He felt the heat of the flames on his cheeks. Turning, he fought through the smoke and ran blindly out of the house. Surrell put Tiara down on the porch. "You have to breathe for her," Someone said to him. He started CPR﹣it was the first time that he'd ever done so. The women stood behind him, praying silently. After he gave five breaths, she opened her eyes and took a breath on her own.
Their eyes met. Surrell hugged her tight and said, "Uncle's got you." Soon after, his throat closed off.
