SIDOARJO, Indonesia (AP) — The bodies of three boys were pulled early Friday from beneath the rubble of a school that collapsed in Indonesia and with more than 50 students still unaccounted for the death toll was expected to rise, authorities said.
The students were mostly boys in grades seven to 12, between the ages of 12 and 19.
Eight students have been confirmed dead and about 105 injured, many with head injuries and broken bones, and 55 remain unaccounted for.
Police said the old building’s foundation apparently was unable to support two floors of concrete and collapsed during the pouring process.
Suharyanto told reporters at the scene that the recovery efforts were expected to be complete by the end of Saturday.
