Building Collapse Caused by Addition of Illegal Fourth Floor by Vittorio Chillemi

Firefighters in Palermo, Sicily, suspect that a collapse of two adjacent apartment buildings was caused by the addition of an illegal fourth floor, killing four and injuring twelve. Residents called  firefighters after noticing cracks on the walls in one of the buildings. Six families were spared thanks to quick observation.
I believe that with these old, historic buildings, it is important to preserve them so such accidents don't happen.

  1. It's nice that finally some people were sparred their lives in one of these tragedies, especially with all of the recent shootings.
