More than a dozen people were trapped on the Nanhu floating bridge and unconsciously drifted to the center of the lake...
At 11:30 this morning, Ms. Yang from Changchun called us, saying that while viewing the scenery on the floating bridge at Nanhu Park, the bridge slowly disappeared...
Changchun Nanhu Park visitor Yang Ms.:
A steel bridge was built in Nanhu Park, people walked on it, and some children jumped on it. When they reached the end, they looked back and found it had broken and floated away.
Changchun Nanhu Park visitor Yang Ms.:
Initially, this board was a bridge, now it's formed a circle. Around 11:45 this morning, we were on the bridge, and we found we were in the middle of the lake.
Ms. Yang and over a dozen citizens were floating on the lake surface, as the warm spring wind and rippling lake moved slowly, they drifted to the center of the lake.
Ms. Yang saw park staff arriving by speedboat to rescue them after about five minutes in the lake center.
Changchun Nanhu Park visitor Yang Ms.:
The people standing are the staff who came by speedboat to maintain our order and let us sit down.

My current location is the shore of Nanhu Park, behind me is the floating bridge that carried Ms. Yang and many citizens, we can see that workers are currently welding the floating bridge, and a security cordon has been set up on the shore.
Reporter Liu Kuo:
Here, we also remind the public not to step on the floating bridge before it is officially put into use, to avoid accidents.
