Blind man’s bluff
A blind Chinese man was hired to build a bridge which later collapsed.
The blind contractor altered blueprints without getting them checked by a professional, causing the crossing to fall apart, injuring 12 people.
Two officials who oversaw the project have been jailed.
Head of the local authority Huang Wenge and colleague Xia Jianzhong have been sentenced to 18 months and one year respectively.
The court ruling said: "When they knew the bridge was being built by a blind contractor, they did not stop it.
"After the blind contractor changed the blueprint, he carried out the work only using a roughly drawn draft of the plan, which caused the bridge to collapse."
