A crack had appeared at one end of the bridge several years ago, said Jose Joseph, who owns a nearby snack and souvenir shop.
Aruba has several natural bridges, some of them difficult to reach. A shorter bridge is located next to the one that collapsed.
"We lost the mother. But we still have the daughter," Joseph said.

Who lost a daughter but still have the mother.
Ironic this should collapse the day it was announced all 3 suspects who were last seen with Natalie Holloway will be released.

Tourists and Arubans look at a natural bridge that collapsed over night in Aruba, Friday, Sept. 2, 2005. The natural bridge is one of Aruba's top tourist attractions. The coral bridge spanned some 100 feet (30 meters) 25 feet (7.3 meters) above a cove on the island's west coast. (AP Photo/Leslie Mazoch)

This is clearly the result of President Bush taking a vacation.
There is no doubt that Bush knew this collapse was going to happen at
some point in his failing Presidency. Just ask the Democrats.
