i heard that there WERE people who died :os
According to the official reports, there were only 4 persons in the building, since it was a Friday (non-working day). Reports say that two of the workers were able to leave the building before it totally collapsed but they had serious injuries. The other two unfortunately were not able to escape and they immediately passed away.

inna lilahi wa inna ilayhi raji3oon (we are from Allah and to Him we shall return)

Yes, 2 died and 2 were injured.
I've got some photos which I'll post later.
About 2/3 of the building has collapsed.

This is sad
may they RIP

This is a sad news.

May they rest in peace. What does the owner of the building has to say about this? :bored:

There was a big mess over there last night..

Weird. This building is very old!

Very sad news, may they r.i.p.

After the Hurricane , such buildings should be checked for how bad damages has gone!

Like Al Airaimi complex... it was damaged and till today they cannot afford restoring it because of the damages!

two days of high water level pressure must have damaged the infra structure of the old building , it is just a matter of time and circumstances

^^i sooooo agree with you
