浙江婚礼礼堂坍塌 8人死亡
At least 8 people have been killed and more than 90 others injured when a building collapsed during a wedding ceremony in East China's Zhejiang Province.
The building collapsed at around 5:20 p.m. Beijing time Thursday in Yazhuang village, Panan County. About 200 people were attending the wedding. Local authorities have dispatched hundreds of rescuers to the site and taken the injured to hospital.
10 of them were in a severe condition. People buried in the rubble were rescued five hours after the collapse. Local residents said the building was 40 years old and the weight of the heavy snow on the roof may have triggered the collapse. The cause of the collapse is under investigation.
