BERLIN (AP) — Authorities say that part of a hotel in western Germany collapsed, leaving two people dead and trapping seven others in the wreckage for hours. The last of them was rescued after some 24 hours later, on Wednesday night. Fourteen people were in the hotel in the winemaking town of Kroev on the Mosel River when one story of the building collapsed at about 11 p.m. Tuesday. Police said that five were able to get out of the building unhurt because they weren’t in the part that collapsed. But getting to the others proved difficult because the collapse of one story left two ceilings lying on top of each other.
