KATHMANDU, Nepal -- A steel footbridge collapsed Tuesday in western Nepal under the weight of hundreds of people on their way to a fair, plunging scores about 300 metres into icy Himalayan waters. At least 15 were killed and more than 100 were missing and feared dead, officials said. By nightfall, rescuers had recovered 15 bodies, while 32 seriously injured victims were flown to hospitals in more developed parts of the country, said Dipendra Chetri, a police official who helped rescue people in Chunchu, the village where the bridge collapsed.

The Himalayan Times quoted police sources in Nepal saying that [Amit Kumar] was arrested at a hotel in the southern town Sauraha, about 60 kilometres from the Indian border town Raxaul.

As we approach Thamel, Kathmandu's old quarter where most tourists stay, the driver waves at the Narayanhiti royal palace. "Goodbye, king," he says sarcastically, referring to the demise of Nepal's monarchy. There's no better way to end a great day of shopping than eating at a great restaurant. Kathmandu offers an embarrassment of riches in cuisine - Nepali, Tibetan, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Italian or French. And did you know Fire and Ice (favoured by the late Prince Dipendra and his lover) has the world's very best pizza? Back at the Shiva festival, it's starting to get ugly. What began as a laid-back, sunny day at the temple has turned menacing as countless thousands - the next day's Kathmandu Post put total attendance at 400,000 - push their way into the Pashupatinat...
