France: Marseille building collapses, fire stymies rescuesFrance's interior minister says up to 10 people may be buried under the debris of a building that collapsed following an explosion in France’s port city of Marseille.

It was not known if anyone was killed in the collapse or explosion, or what triggered the blast. The five-story building collapsed before 1 a.m. Sunday.
