Another bldg collapses in India

MUMBAI, July 16 (AP): A four-story residential building collapsed Tuesday in Mumbai, India's financial and entertainment capital, killing at least two people, an official said. Rescuers were looking for several others feared trapped in the rubble.

Fire official Ashok Talpade said dozens of rescuers were at the site in Dongri, a crowded residential section of Mumbai, where they pulled out three people alive and rushed them to a hospital. They included one child who was allowed to go home after being treated, he said.

The building was located in a narrow lane in a congested area, making it difficult to send earth-moving machines there, Talpade said, adding that police were using sniffer dogs in their rescue operation.

Television images showed people forming a human chain to remove the rubble using their hands.

"The building crashed with a heavy sound and we thought there was an earthquake," a local resident told the New Delhi Television news channel.
