Poland said on Sunday 66 people were killed when the snow-laden roof of an exhibition centre collapsed in the country's worst disaster in almost two decades, Reuters said. After a night in which temperatures reached minus 15 Celsius (5 Fahrenheit), rescue workers on Sunday began winding down their search for survivors among the rubble. Dozens of distraught relatives and survivors gathered near the site to await news of their friends and loved ones who had been attending an event for international pigeon enthusiasts in the southern city of Chorzow when the metal roof of the modern building, the size of a soccer field, collapsed on Saturday. About 150 people were injured. Nearly 1,000 police, firefighters, soldiers and workers from local mines worked through the night, deploying cutting equipment and thermal imaging gear to search for survivors. President Lech Kaczynski said the death toll, which included two children and two foreigners, was unlikely to rise.
