And for some better news from the Gleaner:

"Minister without Portfolio in The Office of the Prime Minister Daryl Vaz is reporting that only five people were injured this morning when a section of a building at the Royalton hotel site collapsed.

All five were taken to hospital where two were treated and released and three admitted.

According to Vaz, the most seriously injured worker received head injuries including a wound above one of his eyes."

But teams are still removing debris searching for anyone who is beneath the rubble. I am so glad that this is turning out to be nothing remotely like the original stories. All over Negril, you could hear everyone talking and speculating on the causes and outcome. The investigation wanted by the Chamber should help prevent any further incidents like this. So far so good... as of now, no one died, two hurt and released and three admitted to the hospital. It could have been so much worse. A sad day has seemed to turn out to be a miracle day in Negril!
