A tragic hotel collapse in Argentina leaves one dead and others trapped in debris, with rescue efforts ongoing.
A catastrophic incident occurred early Tuesday in the coastal city of Villa Gesell, Argentina, where the 10-storey Dubrovnik hotel collapsed, resulting in one confirmed death and multiple individuals reportedly trapped beneath the debris. According to local authorities, the deceased is a man in his 80s, with up to 15 people believed to be inside the building at the time of the collapse.
Rescue operations are currently in progress, as emergency services strive to reach those believed to be trapped. Reports indicate that the hotel was undergoing renovations, which halted back in August due to municipal orders as the work was being conducted without the necessary permits. These revelations have raised concerns regarding construction safety and regulatory compliance in the area.
Witnesses describe the sound of the collapse as thunderous, creating panic among nearby residents. The local community is in shock as they grapple with the aftermath of this tragedy, calling for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident. Authorities have committed to examining the hotel’s renovation processes and the conditions that led to such a catastrophic failure.
