Hotel in China crumbles into the ground

Opened just two years ago, the 80-room Xinjia Hotel located in Quanzhou, China has been deployed by the authorities to quarantine those who had close contact with patients of Wuhan pneumonia.

The hotel suddenly collapsed, leaving only the steel frame. According to the state-owned Xinhua agency, initially around 70 people were trapped, of which 43 were later rescued. Chinese officials, however, did not confirm whether anyone died.

According to Hong Kong news media RTHK, "China is no stranger to building collapses and deadly construction accidents which are typically blamed on the ountry's rapid growth leading to corner-cutting by builders and the widespread flouting of safety rules.

At least 20 people died in 2016 when a series of crudely-constructed multi-storey buildings packed with migrant workers collapsed in Wenzhou. Another 10 were killed last year in Shanghai after the collapse of a commercial building."
