Videos showed the billboard, bigger than an Olympic-sized swimming pool, billowing in the wind before collapsing as a dust storm and rain lashed Mumbai

Rescue workers used excavators to clear mangled metal debris in their final search for survivors trapped underneath a billboard that collapsed in India’s financial capital of Mumbai, killing at least 14 people.

Rescuers worked through the night to pull people from the debris on the side of a busy arterial road in the Mumbai suburb of Ghatkopar. “The operation was very challenging due to the weight of the structure and the presence of flammable liquid and gas at the site,” Mohsen Shahedi, a senior National Disaster Response Force officer, told Reuters.“We believe there is no one else stuck under the debris,” he said.
