Rescuers race to save 30 people still trapped in collapsed five-star hotel in China being used to quarantine coronavirus victims
I wonder what 5 star means for hotels in China.
A desperate rescue attempt is underway to save 30 people still trapped in a collapsed five-star hotel China.
Xinjia Hotel in Quanzhou City was recently converted to a quarantine facility for people who had recent contact with coronavirus patients, the People's Daily state newspaper reported.
A video stream posted by the government-backed Beijing News site showed rescue workers in orange overalls clambering over rubble and twisted steelwork carrying people towards ambulances.
The 80-room hotel collapsed at around 7.30pm (11.30am GMT) and at least 40 people had been rescued by 9pm, according to a local government statement.
'I was at a gas station and heard a loud noise. I looked up and the whole building collapsed. Dust was everywhere, and glass fragments were flying around,' a witness said in a video posted on the Miaopai streaming app.
