Indian temple tragedy: 35 killed as floor collapses.
TL;DR Summary
A structure built over a well at a temple complex in Indore, India collapsed during a Hindu festival, killing 35 people and injuring 18. The well had been covered with the structure, which apparently could not handle the weight of the large crowd. The temple authorities had stopped using the well years ago and covered it with the structure. Building collapses are common in India due to poor construction and a failure to observe regulations. An investigation has been ordered.
