It is a common belief that not all of the casualties were removed from the collapse and that there are bodies still inside the bridge. Can anyone verify this? I was in high school when this happened and rumours were running rampant. It was horrifying to hear about, especially if you knew someone whose father was working there.

None of the sources I consulted for this article mention anything like that even though they mention having to stop the rescue operation when it was too dark. I imagine if people were unaccounted for, it would have been reported on, but I only have access to secondary sources. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions04:21, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
