Guest guest Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Tuesday, 3 January 2006, 08:01 GMT Battle to rescue German skaters There are fears that the roof could collapse further Rescue workers are still battling to find survivors after the roof of an ice rink collapsed in southern Germany, leaving at least 10 people dead. Up to 50 people were on the rink in the Bavarian town of Bad Reichenhall when the roof caved in on Monday afternoon. Six bodies have been removed, including those of four children, and four bodies have been found but not yet pulled out of the debris. Others have been reported missing, but it is unclear how many may be trapped. " We will keep looking until we find the very last person, " said local official Rudi Zeif. " But the chances of rescuing someone are of course getting lower the longer the search goes on.
