The collapse of Linfen Country Hotel killed 29 people, was it because of the expansion?

This is a tragedy in Juxian Hotel, Chenzhuang Village, Taosi Township, Xiangfen County, Linfen, Shanxi Province. The roof of Juxian Hotel, where a birthday party was being held, suddenly collapsed, and 57 people were trapped on the spot. After the search and rescue by the fire squadron, all the trapped people were finally rescued, but unfortunately, 29 of them were killed, 7 were seriously injured and 2/kloc-0 was slightly injured.

This is a lively day in Juxian Hotel. Uncle Li is planning his 80th birthday. Because many relatives and friends had not come yet, he was waiting in the banquet hall. On that day, a singer was invited in the banquet hall, so many people gathered to watch the opera. Unexpectedly, the roof of the main banquet hall collapsed with a bang. At that time, Uncle Li's wife was also in the main hall of the banquet, and the fire squadron arrived immediately after receiving the report.

After the incident, Uncle Li said in an interview that he didn't want to do this 80th birthday, but the villagers always advised him to do it. Moreover, his birthday is August 30th, not 29th, because the children have to go to school, and he has a day earlier. But I didn't expect this. In this accident, he lost his wife and relatives, even some dolls of 7 or 8 years old.

This hotel has been built for 22 years. At first, it had only one floor, but because it was close to the road, a floor was added on it, and a kitchen and attic were added. In this way, it has expanded five or six times. When the foundation is unstable, the building is likely to be illegal. At present, the Shanxi Provincial People's Government has set up a task force, saying that it will find out the cause of this matter and the relevant units and personnel.
