            Desperate Search Follows Deadly Indian Building Collapse

   Rescue workers are continuing to search through the rubble, pulling out
   survivors almost a day after the collapse of an illegally-built
   building outside India's commercial capital.
   Police say at least 46 people, including 11 children, died late
   Thursday when the eight-story building in the Mumbai suburb of Thane
   gave way. Mirza Mahmood was in the building when it fell.
   "I was lying down in the room, and suddenly felt a jolt, and when I
   tried to get up, a slab fell on me," Mahmood said. "I can only remember
   this much, not anything else."
   Rescue officials say at least 70 people were injured and that more
   survivors may still be trapped. Most of the dead and injured were
   construction workers and their families staying in unfinished parts of
   the building.
   Local residents and officials say the building was quickly constructed
   on protected forest land. Local police commissioner K.P. Raghuvanshi
   confirmed the structure was built illegally. Investigators are looking
   for the builders, who will be charged with culpable homicide.
