Genoa, 11.37 am on 14 August 2018: the Morandi bridge which crossed the Polcevera stream and the districts of Sampierdarena and Cornigliano in the Ligurian capital suddenly collapses. It is the section of the bridge that overlooks Sampierdarena that collapses together with the support pylon number 9. It is a massacre. 43 people die including drivers and passengers traveling on the viaduct and workers at work in the underlying ecological island of AMIU, the municipal company for waste collection.
Italy remains astonished to watch the images of one of the most famous bridges in the country come down leaving no way out. An August XNUMXth eve that no one will ever forget.
Unfortunately, this is the symbolic photograph of this 2018 that has been around the world. A lorry on the verge. The driver, except by a miracle, who manages to escape death by a few centimeters.
