Building Collapse

[dik]

From the BBC:

At least 22 workers have been killed and scores are feared trapped after a building collapsed in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh, officials say.

Officials say that a chimney caved in on more than 100 workers during construction work at a thermal power plant.

Apparently building collapses are common in India. This video shows a building in Surat collapsing:

The link was blocked for me as well. There's a video on YouTube that shows it, however. iPhone to the rescue...
