Apartment Collapse in Poland

[dik]

From the AP, "WARSAW, Poland -- An apartment block collapsed Sunday in Poland's western city of Poznan, killing four people and injuring 24 others, officials said as teams of firefighters and rescuers with dogs combed the rubble in search of more victims."

I see a half-dozen YouTube videos on this, search "Poznan apartment collapse".

Speculation of a gas explosion and partial collapse. It does look very similar to Ronan Point which was the same scenario.

another fatality and they think it may have been caused by an explosion... not utility related.

Don't know about Ronan point. That was a distinct modular building material - see multiple websites on the issues.

This just looks like a straightforward, if rather unfortunate explosion which has taken out the outer walls which supported the floors which had steel beams running across. If the LH outer wall only had collapsed then the floors would probably still be there.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

Good point, I hadn't noticed the steel beams on the (very) small picture I'd seen on the news.

EDIT. I see that is the same picture from the link I posted. Must have been asleep that day. Perhaps I still am.

Maybe a coverup for a murder... husband kills wife and sets off a gas explosion... latest...
