Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A five-story building under construction collapsed last night in the Sao Paulo suburb of Guarulhos, although there were no immediate reports of casualties.
The collapse happened after most workers had left for the day, but it wasn't known if anyone was still on the site when the accident occurred.
Firefighters and other emergency personnel with flashlights climbed over the pile of rubble to check for possible casualties.
The collapse came just five days after two construction workers were killed when a crane fell at a Sao Paulo stadium that is slated to host the opening game of next year's World Cup.
The accident sparked further questions about Brazil's readiness to host the soccer tournament.
