At least 14 people were killed in the Indian city of Mumbai after a giant billboard collapsed on them during a sudden thunderstorm, local authorities said Tuesday. At least 74 others were hospitalized with injuries after the accident late Monday, while rescue operations were still underway Tuesday morning local time for an unknown number of people who remain trapped.
“The problem is that we are unable to use our gasoline-based cutting equipment because there is a petrol pump here,” he told local news agency ANI, complicating rescue operations. The sudden thunderstorm and strong winds on Monday brought parts of Mumbai to a standstill and disrupted operations at the airport, one of India’s busiest. Some parts of the city recorded up to 3 inches of rainfall in two hours, the city’s municipal authority said in a post on X.
