On Thursday morning, Fez was struck by another in a string of building accidents or collapses. This time it was a prayer room ceiling collapse and the accident killed one person and seriously injured a second.
The victims are workers who were revamping the 20 sqm room.

I was a bit surprised to hear about this, since supposedly all buildings in the medina have had scaffolding put in them if there are any dangerous cracks. So today I spoke with some engineers in ADER (the agency for the dedensification and rehabilitation of the fes medina!) to see what happened. They said that the building was in the new town and was a newish building, and that the workers had not allowed the cement to set long enough, or something like that. I guess it's my bias that when I read "Fez" I assumed it was in the medina!
