A five-story residential building partially collapsed Tuesday morning in Badalona, a city of more than 200,000 inhabitants located north of Barcelona. The reasons for this collapse have not yet been established.
Nineteen teams of firefighters took turns all night, accompanied by sniffer dogs, to find these three people, manually clearing 60 cubic meters of rubble. According to local media, the building, which included 20 apartments, was built in 1959 and had recently undergone a security inspection. The town hall of Badalone indicated on X that it had decreed three days of mourning.
