School Building In Haiti Collapses, At Least Seven Dead

DateFriday, November 7, 2008 at 11:25AM



A School that normally has an attendance of 500 students has collapsed in the capital City of Haiti today.

At least seven are confirmed dead as of this writing, with a currently unknown number of students and others buried under rubble.

Though it is not immediately clear why the building collapsed, Haiti has suffered from a great deal of rain, and flooding in the last few months which may have contributed to the weakening of the structure, though this is just speculation on my part right now.
