10 die in Moscow
NZPA Moscow The roof of a precision machine tool factory in Moscow collapsed during a blizzard earlier this month and 10 workmen were killed, Soviet sources said yesterday.
Some of the victims died of exposure while trapped in the rubble, they said.
A factory spokesman, the Moscow mayor’s office, the police, and fire officials all denied knowledge of the accident, which the sources said occurred on January 8. Western reporters who visited the Ordzhonikidze machine tool plant site yesterday saw the rubble from the collapsed roof and front and side walls.
The plant is part of a spawling tool and die complex in south-central Moscow.
