The incident took place during the summer vacation when only the women's volleyball team members were training in the gymnasium. On July 24th, it was reported that all trapped students had been successfully searched and rescued. The search and rescue operation lasted for around five hours before anyone was found alive, with four people still missing.

Initial investigations suggest that the cause of the collapse was due to illegal perlite stacking on the gymnasium roof by the construction unit. Perlite soaked in water due to rainfall increased the load on the roof, eventually causing it to collapse. The investigation is still underway, and authorities are working to determine the responsibility for this tragic incident.

Many netizens have expressed their condolences and grief over the loss of innocent lives. Some users speculated that the deaths could be due to the use of cement instead of perlite on the roof, but it is unclear whether these claims are accurate. The news has sparked conversations about construction safety and responsibility, with many calling for a thorough investigation into the incident.

The collapse has left a deep impact on the community, with some users questioning the competence of local leaders who seemed more concerned with maintaining order than assisting in the rescue efforts. It is indeed heartbreaking to see such a devastating event occur and affect so many lives. The government must ensure that they provide clear and timely updates to the public, ensuring transparency and trust in their actions.
