Twenty wedding guests plunge into a river when rickety jungle bridge collapses in the Philippine.Ten people were taken to hospital with concussions and fractures.This is the dramatic moment a couple's wedding in the Philippines ended up not quite going to plan, when nearly two dozen guests ended up in a nearby river. Pictures captured the moment 20 wedding goers had to be rescued from the water after the suspension bridge they were walking across collapsed.The guests were heading to the ceremony in Capiz, in the Philippines, when the crossing made from pieces of wood and steel wire gave way.Twenty people plunged into the river, while three men could be seen desperately holding on to the bridge.Rescue services arrived and fished them from the river in the village of Pangpang Norte. Ten people were taken to hospital to be treated for concussion and fractured bones. Resident Virgilio Jetz said: 'One of the corners where the bridge was attached came loose. 'It was so scary for the people on the bridge. I heard the screaming when it happened and ran over.'The people only survived because of the quick rescue. They were lucky because the water was low. 'During rainy seasons, the river is usually raging with strong current water from the highlands.'If the river was fast they could have been killed. A new structure needs to be built for the safety of people.'Residents from the area have asked the local government for a replacement bridge to be built because the crossing is their only way to and from their community.However, they want the replacement bridge to be built in another area because they were traumatized by what happened.Authorities said the bridge is believed to be overloaded when the incident happened. The steel cable supporting the structure is already rusty and old, factors which contributed to the collapse.
