MADRID (AP) — Spanish emergency workers on Wednesday recovered
the bodies of two missing construction workers in the rubble of
a building that collapsed in central Madrid a day earlier. The
recovery brought the death toll to four.
The top floor of a six-story building under renovation collapsed
and pancaked the floors below on Tuesday afternoon.
Emergency workers searched the site overnight with the help of
police sniffer dogs and drones, finding the bodies early
Wednesday.
One of the four dead workers was a woman.
Another three workers were injured, with one suffering a
fractured leg.
The facade remained standing and apparently stopped most of the
debris from reaching the street.
Police are investigating the incident as a workplace accident.
In Spain, often older buildings are completely renovated inside
while the facades are maintained in their original form.
