Collapsed building in Columbia by: Shadden Hashem

              A 22-story residential building collapsed in Medellin, Colombia on Saturday night. One person was killed, two were injured, and 10 were unaccounted for. Officials noticed cracks in the building and evacuated 24 families on Friday. Construction workers also seem to be missing. Authorities evacuated residents of nearby buildings as a security measure. The police, the fire department, psychologists and the Red Cross were at the site.
               I can't believe the building just callapsed. I hope the injured and missing people are okay and I feel so sad for the person who was killed. This is so sad.

  1. I hope everyone is okay. I hope this goes as another warning to constructors everywhere not to rush the building process and to take future users safety into consideration.
