Seven people are dead
The Monday morning incident in Russia resulted in the death of seven people. The remaining 37 are still in demand. The police, fire brigade and other people who are actively involved in the rescue operation agree that there is currently very little hope of finding someone else alive, writes the AFP news agency. The temperature in Russia at night dropped to minus 18 degrees.
How did the boy survive?
Given the current temperature, which fell to minus 18 degrees during the night in Russia, the question is how he survived 10-month-old boy? It turns out that the boy was wrapped very tightly and was found in a small pit in the ruins. Governor Boris dubrovsky informed that it might have helped the child survive. The child's mother also survived the collapse of the building. Unfortunately, the boy suffered many serious injuries and will be transported to Moscow for treatment.
Vladimir Putin changed his plans for the New Year's Eve
A rescue operation in the city on Tuesday morning Magnitogorsk has been suspended. The reason for this decision was the need to protect the rest of the buildings, which were in danger of collapsing. In connection with the ensuing tragedy, Russian President Vladimir Putin canceled his travel plan to the city of Sochi to celebrate the New Year, and went to Magnitogorsk, to follow the progress of the rescue operation, support people affected by the tragedy, and visit the injured in the hospital.
