Mumbai building collapse kills six

MUMBAI: An apartment block collapsed in the Indian financial hub Mumbai Friday, killing six people and injuring three others in the latest of a string of deadly building cave-ins, authorities said.
Dozens of rescuers scoured the rubble in search of anyone still trapped under the flattened remains of the seven-storey building, located in a densely populated area of the city and surrounded by other structures which were hit with debris.
"There have been six deaths, of which we can confirm two are women. Three persons have also been injured," a municipal official told AFP, asking not to be named.
Searchers, including fire brigade and police officials, worked through the evening at the site in a Mumbai suburb.
Rescuers using heavy digging equipment waded through twisted steel and concrete rubble from the building to see if there were other victims while residents stood around watching, according to a news agency.
