印度频繁发生楼房倒塌事件

An apartment building has collapsed in the outskirts of India\'s financial capital, killing 10 people, including five children, and injuring nine other people.

Officials say the three-story building collapsed early Friday in the Thane area on the outskirts of Mumbai while many of its residents were asleep.

Police say emergency workers have rescued 20 people from the rubble and are continuing efforts to find more survivors.  The cause of the collapse is under investigation.

Building collapses are common in India because builders often use substandard materials, and multi-story structures are often built without adequate supervision.

Less than two weeks ago, 10 people were killed when another building collapsed in Mumbai.

In April, 74 people died in one of the worst building disasters in India\'s history when a building being illegally constructed gave in.

官员们说，这座三层楼建筑星期五早晨在孟买市郊赛恩区坍塌，当时许多居民还在睡觉。
警方表示，紧急救援人员从瓦砾中救出20人，目前仍在继续寻找幸存者。楼房倒塌的原因正在调查中。

在印度，由于建筑商经常使用不合格的材料盖房，所以经常发生楼房倒塌的事件。

不到两个星期前，孟买另外一座楼房倒塌，导致10人丧生。

今年四月，印度发生历史上最严重的违章建筑楼房倒塌事件，74人丧生。
