8 dead, dozens missing in India building cave-in

Rescuers pulled a small girl alive from a collapsed apartment building in India's financial capital nearly 12 hours after the structure caved in Friday, killing at least eight people and leaving dozens trapped under the rubble, according to AP. A cheer erupted from hundreds of onlookers who began chanting "baby, baby" when rescuers working in a drizzling rain plucked the young girl out of a tunnel dug through the rubble. At least 32 people were rescued, but more than 30 others were still missing and the search continued, said Alok Awasthi, local commander of the National Disaster Response Force. Friday's disaster was the third deadly building collapse in six months in Mumbai, in a country where shoddy construction and lax inspections make such disasters all too common. Relatives of the missing wailed and clung to one another, as heavy machinery lifted the largest slabs of concrete away. Dozens of workers hacked away with crowbars at the flattened remains of what was once a five-story building. Eight people were confirmed dead by late afternoon, Awasthi said.
