ITALY — Italian prosecutors are investigating to learn why the Francesco Iovine primary school was reduced to rubble in an earthquake, killing 26 children and a teacher. CNN’s Chris Burns says the main question is whether the school was built earthquake-safe. Earthquakes are common to the area.
Some 60 children were in the school when the quake struck, but rescue workers were only able to pull out 35 people alive. The school was built in the 1950’s when building regulations were less strict.
