Iowa Apartment Building Collapse: Teams Complete Search for Survivors

News 18  

An Iowa task force has completed its search for survivors at the site of a partially collapsed Davenport apartment building without finding three missing people who are feared dead, authorities said Friday. Believe me, we’re going to look at that.” City officials said Thursday that they did not order an evacuation because they relied on the engineer’s assurances that the building remained safe. Rich Oswald, the city’s director of development and neighborhood services, said Thursday that the city’s chief building official, Trishna Pradhan, voluntarily resigned after the collapse. Pradhan had visited the building on May 25, and erroneously reported it had “passed” an inspection in notes in the city’s online permitting system, Oswald said.
