Wake Up Fall

croatiantimes.com

Dozy students at this college in southern China had a rude awakening - when their dormitory collapsed underneath them.

More than a thousand students in Leshan, Sichuan province, were evacuated in the early hours of the morning when the building's foundations gave way.

Officials believe they had been washed away by a series of severe floods caused by heavy rainfall.

"We are relieved that no-one was hurt but the buildings are very dangerous and can't be used again until we make them safe.

"The students behaved very well. I have never seen them move so quickly," said a university official.
