ELLIOT LAKE, Ontario (AP) - Rescue crews began dismantling a
partially collapsed mall late Tuesday night in this northern Ontario
city in an effort to rescue victims despite fading hopes of finding
anyone alive.
Officials used heavy equipment to clear a path from outside the
building to resume rescue efforts stalled over fears the unstable
structure could further collapse, leaving rescuers trapped inside the
mall.
Rescuers detected breathing inside the rubble early Monday, but
authorities enraged local residents when they called off work later that
day. One death was confirmed after part of the mall's roof collapsed
Saturday
afternoon, and another person is known to be still inside.
