DESCRIPTION
Szíriában a hét végén összeomlott két 4-emeletes lakóház. Négy ember holttestét vasárnap megtalálták a romok között, egy ötödik eltűnt lakó után még kutatnak. Sok a sérült, de nem közöltek hivatalos számadatot.A szerencsétlenség az ország második legnagyobb városának, Aleppónak egy munkásnegyedében történt szombat este. Egyes hírek szerint a két ház mellett egy harmadik is félig leomlott.Az épületek 35 évesek, és állítólag már egy nappal a szerencsétlenség előtt repedések jelentek meg a falakon. Az Asz-Szaura kormánylap szerint ellentmondó hírek keringenek arról, hogy a lakókat kimenekítették-e a katasztrófa előtt. A lap úgy tudja, hogy a lakóházak építési hibák miatt omlottak össze.

on edit: description in Magyar just popped up. I don't recognize any word but 'katasztrófa'.

zoom in on the map for a close-up.

on edit, what looks like craters are probably trees. A stereo image would help.

Damascus: At least four people were killed after an aprtment building collapsed in a working class district of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, police said on Sunday.

Bodies of the four men were pulled from under the rubble of the building, which collapsed late Saturday in Aleppo, 355 kilometres northwest of the capital, Damascus, police said.

Rescuers were combing through the rubble on Sunday to try to find people who may still be trapped.

The building, which contained 20 apartments, was flattened to the ground, witnesses said.

Singular news according to the two place next to one triplicate also half-time leomlott.Az buildings 35 at the age of , and allegedly already one day-time the accident eltt rives means plus the murals. The Aflat Szaura rudder according to contradictor news orbits arról , that the tenants kimenekítették e the disaster eltt. THE slab so she knows , that the dwelling-house raise flaws because of omlottak össze.
