Apartment Building Collapse - Egypt

(OP)
from the Winnipeg Free Press...

CAIRO - An eight-story apartment building collapsed Wednesday in the port city of Alexandria, killing at least 25 people in the second deadly accident to hit the country in as many days, according to police and health officials.

Mohammed el-Sharqawy, a senior official at the Health Ministry, said at least 12 people also were injured and that rescue teams were searching for survivors under the rubble. Military police from a nearby naval base cordoned off the area to help the rescue operation.

RE: Apartment Building Collapse - Egypt

It just collapsed? Was it earthquake or wind? Or just plain old gravity?

It uses the phrase "shoddy construction".
