Hope dwindles in S.Africa two days after deadly building collapse

Rescuers raced against time to find more survivors amid the rubble of a deadly building collapse in South Africa on Wednesday, as search operations were about to enter their third day. Dozens of people are still unaccounted for almost 48 hours after rescue services started combing through the debris in the southern city of George.

At least seven people were killed as an under-construction five-storey building collapsed on Monday for reasons that are yet to be determined. Authorities said twenty-nine of the 75 workers who were at the site when the incident occurred have been pulled out of the rubble alive, six have life-threatening injuries, and 16 are in critical condition.
