53 Die in Bridge Collapse and Typhoon Lekima
A partly-built bridge collapsed on 26 September in southern Vietnam, leaving 53 dead and injuring many other construction workers. In Central Vietnam, Typhoon Lekima prompted the evacuation of 300,000 people, killing one, and destroying houses and boats. It was the fifth typhoon to hit Vietnam this year.
