School collapse in Barracas

Buenos Aires, August 12, 2011

A school in Barracas neighborhood suffered a collapse in its roofs on at least four classrooms, which is a real miracle as no student was injured.

This is the School Nº 3 “Bernardo de Irigoyen” located on 400 Montes de Oca Avenue, witnesses said to M24Digital.

The incident took place at noon when a heavy storm was over Buenos Aires City in which there was hail fall and a lot of rain.

The students were not in the classrooms as they had finished their last class and minutes later the roofs collapsed.

There were several rubbles on the desks where children normally take their courses.
