More Tragedy In Bangladesh

There is more sadness this morning in Bangladesh as a section of a bridge collapsed Saturday under the weight of thousands of hungry cyclone victims rushing toward a relief center in southwestern Bangladesh. At least one person died and dozens were injured, officials said.

Rescuers worked to remove concrete slabs from the collapsed 30-foot section to search for people feared crushed underneath, while frantic villagers gathered at the site on a river in Patuakhali district, one of the areas hit hardest by Tropical Cyclone Sidr earlier this month.

These poor people just cannot seem to get a break, and I am truly amazed by their resiliency in the face of tragedy after tragedy, and may we send more prayers their way on this Thanksgiving weekend!
