"DOMINO EFFECT -- Rescuers recovered a body from the rubble of a building collapse in Rio de Janiero yesterday. At least six bodies have been found, and 16 people were still missing last night. Officials said illegal construction may have damaged a 20-story building and caused it to crumble, pulling down two other buildings Wednesday (Boston Globe January 27 2012)."
