A building collapse in Philadelphia yesterday killed six people and injured 14 others.
The four-story building, which was slated for demolition, fell onto a neighboring thrift store at around 11 a.m.
Search-and-rescue efforts continued into this morning, as a 61-year-old woman was pulled alive from the debris just after midnight.
“We still do not know how many people were inside the thrift store or possibly on the sidewalk at the time of the collapse,” Mayor Michael Nutter said.
“If someone else is in that building, [rescue crews] will find them.”
Authorities declined to identify the dead other than to say that they included one man and five women who had been inside the Salvation Army thrift store.
Survivors were taken to hospitals with mostly minor injuries.
