Emergency crews provided oxygen and water to survivors still buried beneath debris, but avoided heavy machinery due to structural instability concerns that could endanger trapped individuals.

This is the second building collapse in Indonesia within a month after a similar event in West Java's Bogor district killed four people and injured dozens more.

This tragic collapse at Al Khoziny Islamic Boarding School shows how unauthorized construction killed innocent students during prayers. The old foundation couldn't support two additional floors built without permits, causing the structure to fail during concrete pouring. Rescue workers heroically dug through debris all night, providing oxygen and water to trapped survivors while families anxiously waited.

Islamic School in Indonesia Collapses, Killing Least 1 Student and Injuring Dozens

Indonesia's lax construction standards and widespread practice of building without proper oversight created this preventable disaster. The country routinely allows partially completed structures with owners adding floors later when budgets permit, creating dangerous situations. Stricter safety standards and better construction oversight are desperately needed to prevent more tragedies.

While omissions in building safety and permit enforcement are laid bare, rescue workers race against time, heroically digging through debris all night, providing oxygen and water to trapped survivors. They must be applauded for coordinating tirelessly, facing collapsing walls, aftershocks and dwindling daylight in the desperate effort to save lives.
