A tragic story in China has the entire world in tears.
A middle-school girls’ volleyball team was just about wiped out after a roof collapsed on the gym.
According to reports, there were 19 people in the gym at the time of the collapse, with 11 of them being killed in the accident.
They’re Gone
According to reports, all but two of the people inside the gym were players, all believed to be under 17 years old.
Early reports are putting this tragedy on a construction team that was working on a neighboring building.
Apparently, materials were stored on the roof, but there has been significant rainfall recently.
That rain is believed to have weighed down the materials, causing the roof to collapse.
Local officials stated that they were going to put a “2023 special action plan” together to ensure this does not happen again.
The official stated, “We will reflect deeply and learn lessons and comprehensively and deeply carry out the ’2023 special action plan’ for investigating and rectifying major safety hazards.”
I cannot imagine being one of those parents and losing a child in such a horrific manner.
