<p>The National Fire Agency identified two of the victims as Indonesian, another as Filipino and the fourth body has not been identified.</p>
<p>Taiwan’s military deployed a floating platform to help workers remove debris and try to extract two of the boats from under collapsed sections of the bridge.</p>
<p>All the victims are believed to be fishing boat workers from Indonesia and the Philippines.</p>
<p>The 140-metre-long arched bridge collapsed on Tuesday into a bay on Taiwan’s east coast, about 40 miles southeast of Taipei, the capital.</p>
<p>A typhoon swept by the island earlier, but the weather was sunny when the bridge collapsed and it was not clear if the storm was a factor.</p>
<p>Ten people were taken to hospitals with injuries, including the Taiwanese driver of an oil tanker that fell off the bridge.</p>
<div data-google-query-id="CNPAoI2V_eQCFdj47QodiCkDww">
<p>The other nine are Filipino and Indonesian fishermen, with one, an Indonesian, in serious condition, Taiwan’s official Central News Agency said.</p>
<p>Many Filipinos and Indonesians work on fishing boats registered in Taiwan, where the pay is better than in their home countries.</p>
<p>The 18-metre-high high bridge in Nanfangao, a Pacific coast fishing port, opened in 1998 and replaced a lower span that prevented large fishing vessels from passing underneath.</p>
<p>The company that designed the bridge, MAA Consultants, says it is the only single-span arch bridge in Taiwan supported by cables and the second single arch-cable steel bridge in the world.</p>
