Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 64541, member: 636"] Authorities confirmed on Sunday that 45 people died after a school building collapsed in East Java province. The victims were transported to Bhayangkara Police Hospital for identification, according to Nanang Sigit, who heads the regional Search and Rescue Office. Part of the Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School in the Sidoarjo district collapsed on Monday when students were trapped beneath debris from an unauthorized renovation project. Rescuers initially used manual excavation methods to avoid triggering further structural failures. Heavy machinery was deployed on Thursday after rescue teams detected no additional survivors. Police Chief Nanang Avianto stated that legal proceedings would begin after excavation operations conclude. [/QUOTE]
