Why did the home collapse? What was the cause? Was there an earthquake or a heavy rain and wind. I think the house was made of weak materials.

Your last line might just be the real cause as a lot of people wants to build with chesp materials and this is causing incessant collapsing

The homeowners should have inspected their home if almost to wreck not awaiting it to collapse and witness casualties. Lesson learned for them.

Well, some people do overlook things like this. They hudt believe they are covered at all cost so no need for any inspection.

What was the reason of the collapse? Has it been investigated? The builders should be punished for this incident and should be jailed for such a weak construction.

Was the building insured? I hope the building was qualified to be insured. If it is made of wood,most likely the insurance coverage is small.
