The number of deaths caused by the collapse of reinforced concrete buildings under construction on the Continent has been increased by a disaster at Saumui - , where five workmen were killed and six injured.
About 20 men were engaged in removing the internal scaffolding supporting the roof moulds when the entire building, which had been designed to stoic machine guns, collapsed like a house of cards.
Four bodies have been extricated from the ruins. Another man died in hospital.
