Fears for dozens missing in deadly building collapse

MAHAD, India－Rescue teams and sniffer dogs in western India searched the rubble for survivors on Tuesday after a five-story apartment building collapsed "like a house of cards", with up to 70 people still buried.

The accident late on Monday in the town of Mahad, south of Mumbai, forced three disaster response teams to work through the night, combing tin sheets, twisted metal and broken bricks.

National Disaster Response Force spokesman Sachidanand Gawde said that emergency workers had so far retrieved the bodies of two victims. More than 60 people have been pulled alive from the rubble of the collapsed building.
