Six people died and 14 others were injured when a building undergoing demolition suddenly collapsed in Center City Philadelphia yesterday, crushing a neighboring thrift store.
More than 12 hours after the disaster, searchers extracted a survivor who was alert and talking before she was sent to a hospital, the Associated Press said early today. Rescuers worked into the night hunting for more victims trapped in the rubble.
