From Times Wire Reports
Rescuers pulled the bodies of six workers from the rubble of a huge hangar at Russia’s Baikonur space base in Kazakhstan as experts began investigating why the building’s roof caved in.
Eight repairmen were working on the roof of the cosmodrome’s hangar when it collapsed Sunday.
Emergencies Ministry officials said there was little hope that the other two would be found alive.
Science and Technology Minister Ilya I. Klebanov largely ruled out sabotage as he toured the site.
