In Scotland, one of Edinburgh's oldest tenements collapses killing thirty-two sleeping inhabitants

Just after one in the morning in the ancient buildings along the High Street in Edinburgh, Scotland, a ninety foot tenement collapsed in pile of rubble and buried around eighty people.  Rescuers were able to pull many of the families, mostly poor working-class, from the ruins but a total of thirty-two people were found crushed to death.
