DETAILS TO FOLLOW The café itself did not sustain any damage, as it was built from brick and concrete. It is the ramshackle structure – a cloakroom, adjacent to the building - that failed to withstand the weight of snow accumulated on its roof, emergency services said.
About 1 m (40 inches) of snow has piled on the structure at the time of the collapse.
Some 80 rescuers and 25 units of equipment were rushed to the scene in the immediate aftermath of the incident to clear out the debris and search for survivors.
