Tragedy strikes this mall in Elliot Lake, Ontario as one is killed and (at last count) 12 are unaccounted for in a partial roof collapse. Salt seepage weakening the concrete structure is being speculated on as a possible cause for the collapse, which wasn't exactly a surprise to many. There has also been much criticism about the slowness of the provincial government in coordinating a rescue mission.
