Two people were killed and 16 injured when the ceiling of a hospital in central India came crashing down, trapping patients and employees under the rubble, officials said Saturday. Rescue workers smashed through giant slabs of concrete and combed through other debris to search for victims after the ceiling of the first floor of the women's wing of the Kasturba Gandhi Hospital in Bhopal caved in Friday.
"The bodies of two persons were found when the rescue team started removing debris from the collapsed structure," Nikunj Shrivastava, chief district administrative officer, told reporters at the scene.
