Two injured
Two buildings suddenly collapsed in Marseille, spreading terror.
The two buildings were transformed into an amorphous mass of walls and irons.
Two people were injured when the buildings collapsed.
Firefighters rushed to the scene, along with rescue dogs who started the work to find any trapped people.
The collapsed buildings are located in the famous, old port of Marseille.
Videos of people who happened to pass by the spot recorded with their mobile phones the cloud of dust that arose after the collapse of the two buildings, while passers-by covered their faces with handkerchiefs so that they could breathe.
The mayor of the city stated that one of the two buildings had been ordered to evacuate as there were cracks and static problems.
