CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Rescue teams worked through the night searching for dozens of construction workers buried for more than 12 hours under the rubble of concrete after a multi-story apartment complex that was being built collapsed in a coastal city in South Africa.
The collapse happened in the city of George, about 400 kilometers east of Cape Town on South Africa's south coast. Large cranes and other heavy lifting equipment were brought to the site to help with the rescue effort and tall spotlights were erected to allow search and rescue personnel to work through the night.
People came streaming out of other buildings after the collapse, with some of them screaming and shouting.
