Everything about Bad Reichenhall Ice Rink Roof Collapse totally explained

At approximately 15:00 UTC on Monday 2 January 2006, the roof of a 1970s-built ice rink collapsed, possibly under the weight of heavy snowfall in the town of Bad Reichenhall, Bavaria, Germany, near the Austrian border, trapping 50 people underneath the rubble. Fifteen people were killed, with the last body being recovered early on 5 January. Eight children are known to have died. Thirty-two people were injured. Weather conditions in the area were extremely severe, an avalanche having killed two people nearby earlier in the day.
   The rescue was temporarily halted on 3 January due to fears that the walls of the ice rink could collapse, endangering firefighters, police and rescue workers. However it resumed in the early hours of the next morning.
   The accident has provoked outrage in the town as it emerged that officials had halted the training session of an ice hockey team inside the rink due to fears that the wall could collapse. Prior to the disaster, officials had planned to close the ice rink on Monday 2 January as snowfall was continuing. However, as many meteorologists pointed out, the weather and snow conditions were not unusual for the time of the year as the town lies in a popular winter sport area of Southern Germany.
   Local officials examined the collapsed roof on Monday and suggested that the accumulated snow was below the limit for the roof.
