WARSAW, Poland (AP) — A pre-World War II apartment house collapsed Saturday in southwestern Poland, leaving five people dead, four injured and one missing, authorities said.
Scores of firefighters with dogs were searching the rubble of the building in the town of Swiebodzice (Shvyeh-'boh-tchi-tseh), according to Daniel Mucha, regional spokesman for the firefighters. He said the collapse of two floors of the three-floor building might have been caused by a gas explosion.
Regional governor Pawel Hreniak said the search-and-rescue operation was expected to continue through Sunday.
He confirmed five fatalities, including two school-age children.
Still, firefighters looking for one more missing person said there were no sounds yet coming from the building's bricks and broken wood.
Prime Minister Beata Szydlo was heading to the site, 420 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Warsaw, to be with the victims and the rescue workers.
The governor of Swiebodzice, Bogdan Kozuchowicz, said the pre-World War II building was recently renovated and had been in good technical condition.
The injured were taken to hospitals in Swiebodzice and in Wroclaw. One survivor, identified only by her first name Stanislawa, told TVN24 that she was "miraculously saved."
"I was in the kitchen and suddenly it was dark and full of debris and some broken wooden planks," she said from her hospital bed in Swiebodzice. "I got on top of those planks and started calling 'Help! Help!' Two firefighters came and pulled me out by the arm."
She said her husband was resting on the bed at the time of the collapse.
"I don't know what has happened to him," she said, her voice trembling.
With her teenage son, also a survivor, at her side, she said the family had lost everything.

The canal that supplies water to the 100-kW Budum Rivulet Micro Hydropower project in Nepal has collapsed, news agencies are reporting.
The project, at Gudel of Mahakulung rural municipality in the Solukhumbu district, began operating in 2015.
It is reported that a 30-meter-long section of the canal collapsed and will take a minimum of one month to repair. More than 750 households have lost electricity as a result of the collapse.
THE STRETCH ZONE, THAT SINKING FEELING
http://www.zetatalk.com/index/blog1010.htm
We have described a time preceding the last weeks when emergency management teams would be exhausted, turning a deaf ear in countries like the US and Britain to cries of "terrorism" and a need to install martial law. What could cause such a state, worldwide? Earthquakes have increased in frequency and strength, and accidents in the stretch zones are increasing because the plates have loosened up and are moving a greater distance during each adjustment. The recent breaks in Internet cables around the Arabian Plate are a case in point. Where earthquakes of lower magnitude are registered and often felt, when they increase in size to a magnitude 6 or 7 or greater, infrastructure is destroyed.
What will it be like when earthquakes are happening to most cities around the world, simultaneously? Stretch zones will experience even more destruction, as the infrastructure will be pulled apart. Gas mains will explode into holocausts. Travel will become impossible when roadways are torn apart or heaved up. And the increasingly volatile atmosphere, jerked about by the wobble, will make air travel treacherous. Where faltering on occasion now, satellites will falter increasingly, making communications difficult. All this leads to panic, so that distracted workers cause malfunctions in services. This can be expected before the last weeks arrive.

Bridge on Nemo Road shut down after partial collapse
July 1, 2020
NEMO, S.D. – A partial bridge collapse on Nemo Road has closed down the bridge and resulted in a detour.
The highway patrol responded to the incident after a semi truck had crossed over it and one lane of the bridge partially collapsed.
The partial collapse has closed a portion of Nemo Road. A detour that uses Norris Peak Road to Highway 44 to Highway 385 to Merrit Estes Road has been set up.
An engineer on scene recommended shutting down the bridge rather than using the one lane.
Joe Miller, highway superintendent for Pennington County, anticipates a several month effort to repair the bridge. He says the bridge was not on the county's schedule to be replaced or have any rehabilition done.

The foundations of the bridge across the river Kola were washed away by rapidly melting snow and strong flows of water Saturday, and the bridge gave way Monday, the Emergencies Ministry said.
“This route is the only one, so a temporary ban has been imposed on the loading of all goods to the Murmansk transport hub after the damage to the bridge,” the company said.

Chinese petrol tanker falls 40ft into river when bridge collapses in Laos
June 2 2020
A Chinese trucker had a lucky escape after a bridge collapsed as he drove over it.
The driver was in a Chinese owned tanker which had been delivering fuel in Vientiane, Laos, yesterday morning (June 2).
However, the rusty old metal bridge gave way when it tried to cross shortly before 7:30am.
Shocking pictures show the state of the wreckage after the vehicle plunged more than 40ft into the ravine below.
Miraculously, the driver survived and was pulled out of the cab and was alive. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Resident Puk Sihavong said: ''The crash happened near to my home. I heard the loud noise and many people went to look.
''The injured driver was Chinese and he was alive.''
Council officials arrived at the scene of the crash later in the afternoon to assess the damage and plan how to retrieve the vehicle, which was empty at the time.
Laos is a Communist-ruled country in Southeast Asia that has borders with Thailand, Burma, China, Vietnam and Cambodia.
