Building collapse in China's Wenzhou city: at least four fatalities

A building collapsed in Wenzhou city, China on Saturday, according to reports from the state media outlet CCTV. The incident occurred during the building's renovation and resulted in the tragic death of four people. It is mentioned that all the victims were construction workers while an ongoing investigation is being conducted to determine the cause of the collapse.

This unfortunate event in the eastern city is part of a series of recent incidents, including the collapse of a gym in Heilongjiang province last week due to heavy snow, resulting in three fatalities. In July, another incident occurred in Heilongjiang province with 11 casualties due to a school gym roof collapsing during intense rain. This collapse might have been caused by construction materials illegally stored on the roof.

The recurrence of such accidents has prompted concern, with a user on the Weibo social media platform questioning why incidents like these continue to happen. The user emphasized the importance of addressing the hidden dangers of building safety seriously.
