22 Malaysian children feared drowned

Gina Fazio

In the Houston Chronicle, after a bridge collapsed over the Kampar River 22 Malaysian children have been missing. All of the children are under the age of 13. The bridge collapsed late Monday. About twenty other people were on the suspension bridge at the time of the collapse and managed to not be swept away by holding onto exposed cables or parts of the bridge.

Officials have been looking for the missing children for about 12 hours but at this point are mostly only looking for bodies, one official said.
