Search halted in Pa. building collapse; 6 dead
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — After a slow but steady overnight search buoyed by the discovery of a woman in the rubble, rescue workers at the scene of a building collapse that killed six people took a temporary break Thursday in what had been a round-the-clock dig for additional victims.
A building under demolition collapsed onto a neighboring thrift store Wednesday morning, injuring at least 14 people, including a 61-year-old woman pulled from the debris nearly 13 hours later and hospitalized in critical condition.
Authorities have not officially ended the search, but the sense of urgency has subsided after workers combed through bricks and rubble using buckets and their bare hands well into the night.
“We’re going to keep searching until we’re absolutely sure no one else is there,” battalion fire chief Charles Lupre said shortly before dawn. He said there were no reports of anyone missing, but there was always the chance that someone was inside who wasn’t reported missing.
