The number of dead is up to 127, and you're right, if this had happened in the US, this would be much more of an international story than it is. I think you mentioned something in an earlier post about how typhoons and other extreme weather events can have a more catastrophic impact when they hit areas not accustomed to them, and it looks like this is such a case.

Death toll has jumped to 82, 64 missing.

Imagine if 82 people were killed in the US by a hurricane, what a story it would be.

A major bridge collapse (vid), over Red River in the northern province of Phu Tho, claimed several lives.

Though some guy drove off it on his scooter & survived, apparently.
