RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — A janitor finishing up the day’s work, an accountant closing the books for the month, a computer technician installing software: each had a reason to stay a little late at work.
They were among those trapped when three buildings suddenly collapsed into a pile of rubble in downtown Rio de Janeiro. Rescuers pulled out at least six bodies, according to the city morgue, and 16 people remained missing Thursday as the smoke from small fires drifted above the wreckage.
