School collapses, wounding four

BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: Four students are in intensive care in
a hospital after the roof of their senior high school in
Kotabumi, North Lampung regency collapsed a few days ago.

Fourteen students were admitted to the hospital after the
incident on Friday, but 10 of them were later discharged.

School principal Amrin said the roof collapsed because the
main wooden structure was weak. "We last renovated the building
six years ago. Maybe we used low grade wood," he said.

North Lampung Regent Hairi Fasya said on Sunday after visiting
the school that his administration would cover the medical
expenses of the injured students and rebuild the school. --JP
