Building collapse in Madrid kills two workers

A six-story building partially collapsed in central Madrid on Tuesday afternoon. The incident occurred near Plaza de Isabel II around 1 pm local time. Rescue teams worked for nearly ten hours to locate missing persons. Authorities confirmed two fatalities late Tuesday evening. Madrid mayor José Martínez Almeida announced the discovery of the bodies. Three workers suffered injuries during the collapse. Two sustained minor injuries while one broke a leg. Four people were initially reported missing after the accident. The missing included three men and one woman. Officials identified the woman as the project's lead architect. The building had undergone extensive renovations for some time. Construction safety standards in Spain face renewed scrutiny after this tragedy. Building collapses during renovation work raise questions about oversight procedures.
