TL;DR Summary

Two people may still be trapped inside a partially collapsed six-story apartment building in Iowa, while three others remain unaccounted for as the rescue operation continues into its 36th hour. The city of Davenport had planned to demolish the building, but those plans have been put on hold after a ninth person was rescued alive from the rubble. The cause of the collapse is still unknown, but the building's owner had current permits for repairs to the exterior wall. No deaths have been reported, but the collapse destroyed entire rooms of residents' possessions and left some with no place to live.
