ANCHOR: An empty cargo vessel hit a bridge under construction near the port of Ningbo, Zhejiang Province last Thursday, injuring fourteen crew members. Four crew members were reportedly still missing six days after the accident. STORY: Workers are trying to remove the cargo vessel, code named Qinfeng 128, from underneath the collapsed section of the bridge. Bad weather has hampered rescue efforts by more than 10 salvage ships. The vessel collided with the lower span of the of the Jintang bridge last Thursday, causing a 60-meter long section to crash down on top of her. Within hours of the accident, 16 out of the 20 crew members were rescued with 14 of them suffering minor injuries. The four missing crew members may be trapped inside the ship's cabin when the 3000-ton section of the bridge collapsed on top of it. No workers were on the bridge at the time of the accident. Nine people died in a similar accident last year when a cargo vessel slammed into the Jiujiang bridge in Guandong province.

There are children in China who often try to sell flowers to couples coming out of nightclubs, bars, or just walking along busy streets. They are very persistent and sometimes will wrap themselves around your legs, not letting you leave until you buy their flowers. There are usually adults who organize and control these children behind the scenes. In this video, filmed in Ningbo, China, a physical fight happens between a young couple and the street children.
