<p>A 10-story hotel under renovation in Argentina collapsed Tuesday, leaving one person dead and at least seven trapped in the <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/school-bus-catches-fire-outside-bangkok-over-20-feared-dead-23403944" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">debris</a>, authorities said.</p>
<p>Firefighters searching for survivors rescued a woman who was alive from the rubble of the Dubrovnik Hotel in Villa Gesell, a coastal city 350 km south of the capital Buenos Aires.</p>
<p>A prosecutor opened an investigation to determine the cause of the collapse, but Villa Gesell's municipality said in a press release that the hotel was undergoing a renovation without the proper permits.</p>
<p>Javier Alonso, security minister for the Buenos Aires' province, told journalists that an 80-year-old man died in the collapse and a woman was taken alive from the debris. He added that between seven and nine people, presumably masons working on the hotel's restoration, remain trapped.</p>
<p>Rescue team members began removing the rubble by hand while waiting for a crane and some engineers to evaluate the area.</p>
