Kolkata | Friday | 21st September, 2018

Summary:

“Parts of the fourth and fifth floors are beyond the scope of repair. The flame caused by these gases was hot enough to cause damage to concrete and steel,” another official said. The eight-member forensic team that spent two-and-a-half hours inside the building on Thursday used several gadgets to diagnose its condition before concluding that some parts were precarious and needed immediate attention. Scientists photographed the interiors extensively and inserted a Go-Pro camera into cracks and wedges to photograph the condition inside. They also collected samples of concrete that had spalled off pillars, beams and ceiling..
