A 3-year-old girl was among the latest victims of the collapse in the Russian city of Magnitogorsk, Russian news agencies reported, citing the Russian emergencies ministry. The people found dead since the Monday morning collapse so far include six children.
An 11-month-old boy who brought a burst of hope when he was discovered alive Tuesday ,nearly 36 hours after the collapse, was in serious but stable condition at a Moscow children's hospital after traveling about 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) in a plane dispatched by the Russian Health Ministry.
Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said the infant suffered superficial head wounds but no apparent brain damage.
The prospects of finding more survivors appeared dim as the rescue effort continued from Monday's pre-dawn accident, which came after an explosion that officials say was likely caused by a gas leak. Overnight temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius (- 4 F).

Prayers for the souls of the dead and for the comfort of those who survive. These things are terrible where ever they happen.
I suppose that's possible.
But it is pretty near the 'stans.
“Overnight temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius (- 4 F).”
Twenty degrees Celsius is 68 degrees F. The Houston Chronicle has a very basic problem with science and math. But, they do believe in The Global Warming Climate Change Hoax.
Only a theory, but sure sounds like something Putin would do. He does have a history, allegedly, of apartment buildings being destroyed by blasts.
Typo, probably. -20 C = -4 F.
I have become very suspicious of *accidents* like that.

“Typo, probably. -20 C = -4 F.”
Correct, but the editor has no concept of science and missed it. These same editors edit articles of science. They are of no worth!
Editor? What is this “editor” thing of which you speak? Nowadays, if the writers run spell check, that’s plenty of editing.
