In a devastating turn-of-events yesterday afternoon‚ a heavy-duty concrete canopy crashed down at the main railway station in Novi Sad Serbia (causing multiple casualties and leaving the local community shocked)
The concrete-and-steel structure fell onto waiting passengers; killing 14 people including a six-year old visitor from North Macedonia. Three more people got serious injuries and needed quick medical help - rescue teams worked non-stop until they finished their search today
The Serbian government quickly responded to this tragic incident: declaring today Nov 2nd as a national day of mourning. Ivica Dacic the Interior Minister confirmed the final count of victims and said that officials will look into every detail of what caused this deadly accident
The local emergency services did a fast response; working through debris to reach trapped people but sadly couldnt save everyone beneath the fallen structure. The investigation team is now checking the buildings structural integrity and maintenance records to find out why the entrance canopy collapsed
