3 killed, dozens trapped after Indonesia school building collapses

Rescuers in East Java, Indonesia are racing to find 38 people believed to be trapped in the rubble of a school building that collapsed on Monday, BBC reports.

Three students were killed and 101 others were taken to hospital, some of them with critical injuries, officials say, adding that the death toll may rise.

Many of those who are trapped are teenage boys who had gathered for prayers when the building collapsed.

The two-storey building had an unstable foundation and could not support the weight of the additional construction of two more floors, officials say.
