Concrete mixers seen at work at the site of the collapsed Historic City Archive in Cologne, Germany, 03 March 2009. Despite the fact that the building did not house any flats, it could not be ruled out that people were present in or in front of the archive during the accident. At the time nine persons were reported missing. New tunnels for Cologne's tube system are currently being dug underneath the premises, but whether the collapse is linked with these construction works remains unclear.
