Seabees complete bridge

As the Seabees finished building a 42-foot $2 million steel bridge over a concrete bridge that had been dynamited by Iraqi forces, thousands of people passed over a small pedestrian walkway Friday carrying loot and injured people.
Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 4 lined the bridge and another road, cradling their weapons to make sure everything was safe. The Iraqis cannot drive over the bridge, so instead they carried their belongings, including a woman who toted a kitchen sink on her head. Others carried their injured relatives.
