美國愛荷華州(Iowa)達文波特(Davenport)一處公寓28日晚間驚傳坍塌,目前救援工作正在進行,當局透露有1名傷者在現場接受治療,但並未詳細說明受傷人數。
美聯社報導,救援人員28日下午5點左右接到報案並趕到現場,達文波特消防局長卡斯騰(Michael
Carlsten)透露“這棟6層樓高的公寓後半部倒塌並與大樓分離”,並補充說“大樓較高樓層是公寓,較低的樓層則是企業辦公室”。
此外,
卡斯騰在記者會上表示“消防隊員一開始救出7人,並護送超過10人離開坍塌的建築物”,據悉,當局在坍塌後還發現煤氣洩漏和漏水的情況。

目前救援人員仍在尋找失蹤的人,由於該座建築物還發生二次坍塌,卡斯騰坦言“救援人員擔心建築物的穩定性”,並強調“我們現在的重點是救援,我們將繼續評估,重點是試圖找到人並將他們救出來”。
至於這座公寓大樓究竟為何坍塌的原因尚未釐清,不過達文波特市發展和社區服務主管奧斯瓦(Rich
Oswald)在記者會上透露“大樓坍塌時正在維修外牆”。
