Description


Pétionville is located in Haiti

The Pétionville school collapse occurred on November 7, 2008, in Pétionville, a suburb of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, when the church-operated Collège La Promesse Évangélique ("The Evangelical Promise School") collapsed at around 10:00 a.m.[2] local time (15:00 GMT). About 700 students from kindergarten through high school attended the school; however, it is unclear how many were in the three-story building when it collapsed.[3] At least 93 people, mostly children, were confirmed killed, and over 150 injured.[4] At least 35 students, 13 girls and 22 boys, were rescued from the rubble alive on November 8.[5]
