Indian Post Collapses

I'm sorry these posts suck.

"5 detained, 26 dead in two India building collapses" Associated Press   June 30, 2014

NEW DELHI — Police in southern India detained five construction company officials Sunday as rescuers using gas cutters and shovels searched for more than 50 workers believed buried in the rubble of a building that collapsed during monsoon rains.

It was one of two weekend building collapses that killed at least 26 people....

Earlier Saturday, 11 people died and one survivor was being treated in a hospital after a four-story, 50-year-old structure toppled in an area of New Delhi inhabited by the poor, said fire service officer Praveer Haldiar.

Most homes in that part of the capital were built without permission and with substandard materials, police Officer Madhur Verma said.

It's been such an upheaval, this new government. They definitely seem anti-American, what with the deportations and all (what is Bush doing in there with Hitler and bin Laden?), and nothing has changed for women, domestic or foreign.
