Two bodies recovered in mall collapse OFFICIALS have recovered two bodies after partially dismantling a collapsed Ontario shopping mall and said they don't believe other victims are inside. The renewed rescue effort came after angry residents shouted down fears that the unstable structure made the work too risky to continue. Bill Neadles, a spokesman for the Toronto-based Heavy Urban Search and Rescue team, said the second victim was being removed. Rescuers had not detected signs of life after detecting breathing inside the rubble early on Monday, nearly two days after Sunday's collapse. Authorities called off work on Tuesday amid fears of another collapse, but dozens of angry residents protested in front of City Hall, saying that abandoning trapped comrades would be unthinkable in the culture of the city, a former mining community. Work at the Algo Centre Mall in Elliot Lake resumed yesterday, with anxious residents camping outside and watching a huge robotic arm strip away the mall's facade. Mayor Rick Hamilton said that now that the structure has been partially dismantled, rescuers would make certain no one else was trapped inside, though no survivors are expected to be found. Mr Neadles called it a miracle that only two people died when the roof collapsed onto an area near the food court and directly over a lottery kiosk. I had the opportunity to review the security film, and it is a miracle. There were 26 people in the food court," he said. There were people that had just left the lottery terminal three seconds before. I know it's very unfortunate what's happened, but it's a very big miracle that it wasn't so much more devastating.
