Death toll expected to rise at Minneapolis bridge

MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - Rescuers pulled more bodies from the swirling brown waters of the Mississippi River on Thursday in what authorities said would be a slow and dangerous recovery operation after the worst U.S. bridge collapse in more than 20 years. 

Two boats circled slowly near the tangle of steel girders and concrete while divers searched for more victims killed when the 40-year-old bridge in the Midwestern U.S. city of Minneapolis buckled during Wednesday evening rush hour.
