    Students in Indonesia make dangerous daily journey

    Heavy rains and flooding near Sanghiang Tanjung village in Lebak regency, Indonesia's Banten village, caused a pillar supporting a suspension bridge built in 2001 to break. Students must now make the dangerous crossing on their daily walk to school. One brave student, Sofiah, chooses to cross what's left of the bridge to avoid a longer trip.
