This news reminded me a story where the works built a temporary bridge between two building and moved tenants from affected building to safety side. Risky bridge was made but that saved manys life.

MUMBAI: A residential building being constructed illegally on forest land in a suburb of India’s financial capital collapsed into a mound of steel and concrete, killing at least 47 people and injuring 70 others, authorities said yesterday.The eight-storey building in the Mumbai suburb of Thane caved in on Thursday night, police said. Rescue workers with sledgehammers, petrol-powered saws and hydraulic jacks struggled yesterday to break through the tower of rubble in their search for possible survivors. Six bulldozers were brought to the scene. At the time of the collapse, between 100 and 150 people were in the building. Many were residents or construction workers, who were living at the site as they worked on it.More than 20 people remained missing yesterday and three floors of the building remained to be searched, said R S Rajesh, an official with the National Disaster Response Force. “All the three floors are sandwiched … so it’s very difficult for us,” he said.The dead included 17 children, police said.
