[quote]Twelve people are dead and dozens more are feared missing as rescue efforts continued through the night.

Three of those killed were emergency workers who were helping people trapped when more of the roof came down.[/quote]
[quote]The initial collapse happened just before 18:00 (16:00 GMT) on Thursday, when the store was busy with customers.

Walls and windows also crumbled, leaving the shell of the building piled with rubble, witnesses said.

About 20 minutes later another part of the roof caved in, trapping rescue workers who were trying to reach survivors.[/quote]
[quote]The reason for the collapse is not known. However, the BBC's Caucasus correspondent Damien McGuinness says a possible explanation is the weight of soil being used to plant a winter garden on the supermarket's roof.[/quote]

Really a supermarket collaspe and here we are trying to find out where Latvia is.

[trotskygrad]

Maxima is a pretty large chain in the region, it'll hurt their rep.

*in general

[tark!]

But... I want roof-top gardens to be a good thing :(. They better not fucking go the way of the Nuclear Power Plant just because people don't know how to make them right.

This is why you shouldn't go adding tons of weight to the top of a structure without having a professional building inspector tell you if it can hold it or not.

I feel bad because its the same for me.

[4 AM]

Couldn't really happen at the worst time, especially when everyone is coming back from work and getting groceries and stuff.
Who ever built that is gonna have a bad time these following weeks.

Also 27 people are confirmed dead now.

[overpain]

Where will Latvia get their potato now?

[sp]it's a joke people, Latvian's don't mind it[/sp]

[DrLuke]

[QUOTE=Fourm Shark;42944770]Yeah, and ignorant has a negative connotation.

You're a dick.[/QUOTE]

But instead of making a dumb post being a dick towards every latvian, he could've looked it up on google maps.

[Volts]

I went to a Maxima yesterday. The prices were through the roof.

[strazyyy]

33 deaths are confirmed now, this sucks :(

Also everyone in my school started panicking when the alarm went off for the first time in 3-4 years because of the roof collapsing there.

Same here.

Rimi or Prisma is better anyways.

You must be a potato head or something.

[Grindigo]

I don't get people who don't know where all countries on the map are, it's the basic knowledge and you just embarass yourself.

European countries concentrate more on the European geography, other countries don't.

One day, hear knockings on door.
Man ask "Who is?"
"Is potato man, I come around to give free potato"
Man is very excite and opens door.
Is not potato man, is secret police to take man Siberia.

[KandyMan]

The radio this morning informed about some blame also going to RE&RE, which apparently was responsible for the Maxima building.
