The Zolitūde Shopping Centre Collapse
Added 2021-08-24 10:15:59 +0000 UTCThere's always more to a disaster than I can fit in an episode, but with this disaster that was especially true. In fact, it's something that I might even revisit at a later date, as there's a whole other story to be told about how the rescue and investigation was handled.
For the time being, here's the official report (scroll down to find a version in English). It contains an absolute wealth of detail - not about the disaster itself, but about what happened afterwards.
There's commentary on the emergency response, on the way funds collected to assist the victims were distributed, on the provision of psychological support for survivors, and on the role of volunteers and charitable organisations. It's a long read, but it's amazing to see just how much was learned from this disaster.

Would be great to be able to see the documentary... as long as it's no trouble to you? If so, you can send anything you're happy to share along to fascinatinghorror@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!
