The collapse of Xiangfen Hotel in Shanxi caused death. How is the rescue work going at present?

There are many rules and regulations in architecture that we need to abide by, but some people choose to build houses illegally for their own benefit. Such a house is very dangerous. A serious collapse accident occurred in a two-story building in rural Shanxi. So far, 45 people have been rescued, including dead 17 people and seriously injured 17 people. At present, the rescue operation is still in progress, and I don't know how many people are buried inside. However, judging from the building situation of this hotel, this hotel is an illegal building. It was originally just a small bungalow, but the hotel owner expanded the first floor on the second floor for his benefit, which led to a serious accident, probably because of rain or unbearable weight of the foundation.

In fact, there are such illegal buildings in many places in the village. They are usually the owners of houses, and they temporarily transform their houses into second or third floors. In fact, when the house was first built, the foundation was built according to the weight of the first floor. The foundation also represents the bearing capacity, and it is also the guarantee of the safety of the house, which can prevent the house from collapsing and skewing. However, illegally building two or three floors under a foundation will cause great security risks. Because the foundation will sink or be unstable due to weather or geological reasons, then the illegal construction is under way and the foundation is definitely unreliable. Therefore, places like these where humans live or often stay, we must pay attention to its security risks.

Like this collapse accident, it was originally an old man's birthday. On this festive day, many friends come to congratulate on eating here. I didn't expect to encounter a house collapse. I hope that the rescue work can be carried out smoothly and those who are still buried below can get help. At the same time, this incident is also a warning to many people. Although the punishment and supervision of illegal construction in rural areas are not too great, there are still great risks.
