The Latest: University head laments fall of campus bridge
MIAMI (AP) — The Latest on the collapse of a pedestrian bridge at a Florida university (all times local):
8:30 p.m.
Florida International University President Mark Rosenberg says his university and a neighboring community were celebrating the campus' new pedestrian bridge less than a week ago.
Authorities say the bridge was an innovative university project designed to link the universiity campus with the nearby community of Sweetwater in South Florida. Rosenberg says: "This bridge was about goodness, not sadness. Now we're feeling immense sadness, uncontrollable sadness. And our hearts go out to all those affected, their friends and their families."
Rosenberg spoke at a news conference Thursday evening with fire and law enforcement authorities and political leaders. He adds the university is committed to assisting in all efforts to overcome the tragic bridge collapse earlier Thursday.

8:15 p.m.
Miami-Dade County Fire Chief Dave Downey says his crew is using high-tech listening devices, trained sniffing dogs and search cameras in the frantic race to find anyone still alive in the South Florida pedestrian bridge collapse.
Downey told a news conference Thursday evening the dangerous and difficult rescue operation continues. He says his highly trained crews have traveled to building collapses around the world and now are working as fast as they can on their home turf.
Says Downey: "We have to remove some of this piece by piece. It's very unstable." Aerial footage at the site showed a trained dog running atop fallen concrete and sniffing in the crevices for any victims.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida joined first responders and Gov. Rick Scott at the evening briefing. Rubio says he lamented the "tragic accident" and noted the pedestrian bridge was intended to be an innovative and "one-of-a-kind engineering design."
He says the public and the families of the dead and injured deserve to know "what went wrong."

8 p.m.
The Miami-Dade County fire chief says four people have been found dead in the rubble of a collapsed pedestrian bridge in South Florida.
Fire Chief Dave Downey said at a news briefing Thursday evening that four deceased people had been found at the scene by first responders. He also says nine victims were removed "early on" and taken to hospitals. But he did not elaborate on their conditions.
He says "search and rescue mode" is continuing after nightfall.
Gov. Rick Scott also spoke to reporters, saying "everybody is working hard to make sure we rescue anyone who can be rescued." The Florida governor adds that an investigation will get to the bottom of "why this happened and what happened." He adds that if anyone had done anything wrong, "we will hold them accountable."

Robert Bea of the University of California, Berkeley, says it's too early to know exactly what happened in the collapse Thursday on the campus of at Florida International University in the Miami area.
But he questions the builders' decision to try a "rapid span installation" where the 174-foot-long (55-meter-long) span was prefabricated, then swung into place before its central support tower was built. The section was put into place across a busy eight-lane road Saturday.
