TAIPEI (AFP): Four bodies have been recovered from under a collapsed bridge in Taiwan, rescuers said Wednesday, as searches continued for two people still missing when the structure smashed onto fishing boats moored underneath.

The National Fire Agency said two bodies were retrieved in the waters near a boat stuck underneath the shattered bridge while the others were found near a badly damaged boat that was dragged out from under the structure on Tuesday.
