A witness told that there was a sudden thundering noise and the Vivekananda Flyover came crashing down.

He told that the flyover fell over taxis, rickshaws and other vehicles. He said “More than 150 people must have been (buried) beneath it… It is a huge loss of human life.”

More than 150 people are trapped under the debris, blood is splattered all over the road. A witness said that it collapsed like there was some bomb blast.

Since Kolkata is the venue of this Sunday’s World T20 cricket final, this destruction can cause a huge loss of audience.
