Contruction site at DXB airport collapses
Just in: Contruction site at DXB airport collapsed a short while ago, apparentely people are trapped inside.
Someone knows more?
Casualties confirmed but numbers unknown yet. It seems mainly construction workers are affected as the collapsed structure was a shell.
Sympathy to those concerned.

"A hospital official said at least 10 people were being treated for injuries. Rescue teams were searching for more people under the rubble."

If so, coincidence?
Yes, coincidence. The section affected was a scaffold put up while a concrete wall was being built. That's far removed from the case in Paris which was to do with the roof support of a finished building.
The only comment at the moment really is, condolences to the families concerned, and a speedy and full recovery to those who are injured. Good luck to the rescue teams working in the heat and conditions out there.
