Is that an elevated street or highway to the left or is it some sort of roof? Why is it strangely curved even a few blocks away? What is all that stuff on it? For an elevated highway it seems crazily close to the buildings.
Indian engineering, Indian inspectors, and Indian labor. What could possibly go wrong?
uh huh... And the India people are said to be superior in intelligence. Of course they were probably using faulty construction and shoddy materials but hey, at least they were saving money for the India upper class to spend on themselves.
23 dead. 90 rescued.
Too late now but they should have blocked access while the construction was going on.
This has been going on for decades and decades and nothing ever changes.
It's like watching an Indian "Perils of Pauline" 1900's film serial that never ends.
If ever a country had a jinx on it, it's India.

I was surprised to learn that Kolkata is the city formerly known as Calcutta.
The pictures I saw of the collapse were depressing - not because of the wreckage but because of the filthy ricketty buildings around the wreckage and the mass of humanity standing around like seemingly every picture I see of India. Overcrowding, filth and squalor. They may be nice people but, OMG, how do they live that way?

Prayers for those poor people. If it isn’t the weather it’s an earthquake or something like this. They can’t seem to get a break.
