Rescue teams find four bodies under collapsed building

Rescue teams have recovered the bodies of four construction workers from under the debris of a three storey house that collapsed in the centre of Prague on Friday. The four victims of the tragedy were all foreign nationals – two Bulgarians and two Ukrainians. They had been working on the site when the third floor ceiling collapsed crashing through the one under it. It took rescuers 36 hours to find their bodies under the debris. The rescue operation had to be discontinued twice for fear that other parts of the building were in danger of collapsing. Props were put in to make the site safer for the rescue team. An investigation is underway to ascertain the cause of the tragedy. At least one person has come forward to say that safety norms were not respected by the company in question.
