One girl died and two other students are missing after the bridge they were playing on collapsed late Monday 26 October into a fast-flowing river in Perak state, northern Malaysia, local police confirmed. Between 30 and 50 children were playing on a recently built suspension bridge that connects two parts of a camp in Sekolah Kebangsaan Kuala Dipang, about 500km north of Kuala Lumpur, when the bridge collapsed and shook the children into the river. By early Tuesday police were still searching for two children. New Straits Times, New York Times
