"Firefighters said that "several floors" of the five-story building collapsed inwardly, since no rubble spilled out onto the street."
""The workers told us that colleagues are still missing," said emergency services spokeswoman Beatriz Martin. "We still don't know whether they were working inside the building at the time of the collapse. It could be that one or two of them were elsewhere at that moment.""
""It sounded like a bomb," one employee in a nearby bakery told Spanish broadcaster RTVE. "You suddenly couldn't anything," added a local barman."
A five-story building near Madrid's Plaza Mayor partially collapsed during construction work, leaving four people missing and at least ten others injured. Emergency services cordoned off the site, evacuated neighbouring buildings, and deployed drones to aid search efforts. Firefighters reported that several floors collapsed inwardly, with no rubble spilling onto the street. Injured individuals were construction workers, one treated in hospital for a leg fracture. Witnesses and passers-by heard a loud bang and saw thick smoke, with a bakery employee saying it sounded like a bomb. Authorities were unsure whether missing workers had been inside at the time.
