Condolences to all the families. My heart breaks because of this unnecessary disaster. Imagine being under that rubble, having survived, and hoping and waiting to be found alive. This is incredibly sad.

The owners must compensate the families and go to jail for murder. It's apparent they did not care about their workers safety. Such a tragedy. Sincere condolences to all the families❤

Makes me wonder why a tragedy has to happen to have certain regulations examined. Clearly the safety of workers in construction and maybe other Industries is not a priority when enforcing some laws or not enforcing them . RIP all the deceased. 🙏☮️
