Thursday, May 21Thursday, May 21A historic multi-story building in Görlitz, Germany, collapsed on 19.05.2026 following a suspected gas explosion. Three people remain missing: two Romanian tourists, aged 25 and 26, and a 48-year-old man with dual Bulgarian-German citizenship. Rescue teams are working under extreme conditions, manually removing debris due to the risk of further structural instability and potential gas leaks. Authorities estimate survivors may have up to 72 hours before chances of survival diminish significantly .
Police and emergency services suspect the collapse was triggered by a gas explosion, though the exact cause remains under investigation. The building, described as a *Gründerzeithaus* (a late 19th-century structure), partially caved in, trapping the missing individuals beneath the rubble. Rescue efforts are complicated by the unstable debris and the ongoing risk of secondary collapses or gas leaks .
