Russia: Market Roof Collapse · Global Voices
Veronica Khokhlova

W. Shedd of The Accidental Russophile attempts to analyze today's collapse of one of Moscow's largest markets from an engineer's perspective. So far, 56 people are reported to have been killed, but this number is likely to grow, as many more were inside at 5:45 a.m., when the tragedy took place. The majority of the victims were from Azerbaijan and Central Asia.
