Some 146 people were injured and emergency crews were still working to pull survivors from the rubble as families of the victims gathered at the site searching for their loved ones.

A real tragedy, moments of joy and fun turned into a big disaster, over a hundred deaths so far. In many financially challenged nations building contractors cut corners and build substandard buildings
