2008 Pétionville school collapse
The Pétionville school collapse occurred on November 7, 2008, in Pétionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, when the church-operated Collège La Promesse Évangélique ("The Evangelical Promise School")〔( news.xinhuanet.com, Death toll in Haitian school collapse rises to 92 )〕 collapsed at around 10:00 a.m. local time (15:00 GMT). About 700 students from kindergarten through high school attended the school; however, it is unclear how many were in the three-story building when it collapsed. At least 93 people, mostly children, were confirmed killed, and over 150 injured. At least 35 students, 13 girls and 22 boys, were rescued from the rubble alive on November 8.〔(www.reuters.com, Death toll passes 90 in Haiti school collapse )〕
==Collapse==
During the collapse, the first floor of the school buckled under, and the second and third floors of the building came down upon it. The collapse also destroyed several nearby homes. However, only the first and second floors were filled with students,〔 and some students were in the playground area. The cause of the collapse remains officially unstated, but residents of the town have said they suspect poor-quality construction as a cause.〔
The school had previously experienced a partial collapse in 2000, but it was rebuilt.〔 After the first collapse, neighbors living downhill from the school abandoned their property out of fear that the building would fall onto their homes. The owner of the church-run school attempted to buy these vacated properties. In addition, the third floor of the building was under construction at the time of the 2008 collapse.
After the collapse, at least 200 people were seen at hospitals in and around Port-au-Prince.〔 However, because of strikes at General Hospital and Hospital de la Paix,〔(edition.cnn.com, Death toll climbs as search continues in Haiti collapse )〕 two hospitals in the town, Trinité Hospital and University of Haiti Hospital saw most of the injured.〔〔
