A building collapse occurs when a structure fails to support its own weight, leading to a sudden and often dangerous fall. This can happen due to various reasons, such as poor construction, natural disasters like earthquakes, or even neglect over time. When a building collapses, it can cause significant damage and pose serious risks to the safety of people nearby. The aftermath of a building collapse often requires emergency services, including firefighters and rescue teams, to search for survivors. Investigations are typically launched to determine the cause of the collapse, which may involve examining the materials used, the design of the structure, and any external factors like weather conditions or nearby construction activities.
