Poland: 65 dead in roof collapse

Rescuers were today searching for victims buried when the roof of an exhibition hall in southern Poland collapsed on a racing pigeon show, killing at least 65 people and injuring a further 160.

The death toll rose steadily as rescuers dug through the debris of the building, which collapsed at around 5:30pm (4.30pm Irish time) last night in the city of Katowice.
