Faulty Construction Blamed for Ghana Mall Collapse

Collapse killed four, trapped dozens

|

Authorities on Thursday blamed faulty construction for the collapse of a five-story building in Ghana's capital that killed at least four people and trapped dozens of others until they were freed by crews picking through broken concrete with axes.

The five-story structure housing a popular home goods store crumbled early Wednesday, just nine months after it was built in a working-class neighborhood.
