Building Collapses in India
Post by: Addison

Recently,
a building collapsed just outside of Mumbai. The collapse killed near 46
people, around 1/3 of them were children. Rescuers are continuing to search for
other people. Officials are still trying to figure out what initially caused
the fall down. The main reason being that the structure was made illegally. The
8-story building was made weakly and was still under construction when it fell.
Also, there were people living on the first 4 floors and the 8th
floor was still being built. Building an unapproved building has become a
problem in major cities in India due to its escalating population.
I’m
glad here in the U.S. there are many rules and regulations that have to be
followed in order to build a structure. It’s is insane how fast India’s
population has grown. There is 1 billion people in the country that is 1/3 the
size of the U.S.. I hope India is able to support all the people and keep them
safe.

Due to other's mistakes, people's life were taken. Hopefully these families can find peace in this hard time.
