PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti --
A school partially collapsed in the Haitian capital on Wednesday, injuring nine people less than a week after the collapse of another school. Portions of the Grace Divine school in Port-au-Prince came crashing down while class was in session. As word of the incident spread, crowds of anxious parents descended along with ambulances and crews from the collapse of the College La Promesse in nearby Petionville. Two Grace Divine students were hospitalized with severe injuries while seven people outside the school suffered minor injuries, said Edouard Ernseau, a city building inspector. No one was trapped inside. The cause of the incident was unknown, though Ernseau said recent heavy rains may have weakened the two-story concrete structure. On Saturday, Haitian President Rene Preval said poor construction, including a lack of steel reinforcement, was to blame for the collapse of College La Promesse the day before. He warned that many other buildings throughout Haiti are in danger of failing and he called for greater oversight.
