Dozens feared trapped in Mumbai building collapse
A multi-story building collapsed
in India's financial capital of Mumbai early Friday, sending rescuers racing to
reach dozens of people feared trapped in the rubble. At least one person died
and seven people have been so far pulled alive from the building and rushed to
hospital. Approximately 80 to 90 people are believed to be left behind in the
building and trapped. The five-story residential building collapsed just after
6 a.m. near Dockyard Road in the city's southeast. Across India, building
collapses have become relatively common. Massive demand for housing around
India's fast-growing cities combined with pervasive corruption often result in
builders cutting corners by using substandard materials or adding unauthorized
floors.
