Three dead, 20 missing in ice rink roof collapse in German Alps BAD REICHENHALL, Germany (AFP) Jan 02, 2006 At least three people, including a child, were killed and about 20 were missing Monday when the roof of an ice rink in the Bavarian Alps collapsed under heavy snow, police said. Between 20 and 25 people were injured in the accident in the southern German town of Bad Reichenhall on the Austrian border, a police spokesman said. The area around the rink was evacuated but rescue efforts were complicated by continued snowfall, following a blizzard that began overnight and reportedly dumped some 30 centimeters (12 inches) of snow on the region. The fire brigade attempted to prop up remaining sections of the roof to allow search operations in the building. All rights reserved. � 2005 Agence France-Presse.
