Twelve Indonesian children were killed when a suspension bridge on which they were standing collapsed. The children were attending a traditional ceremonial ritual meant to ward-off bad luck in the rural village of Aceh. In all, 37 children fell into the river below, but 25 were rescued; strong currents swept the remaining 12 away. All of the deceased were under 12.
The village had decided to perform the ritual after a measles outbreak.
