The wall of warehouse next door fell over and crushed the local art centre where the junior high school students were preparing for a show. Seven were killed as the building caved in, including six boys between 13 and 15 years-old and the centre's 48-year-old manager, police said. Police are investigating the cause of the collapse, but they said initial suspicion has fallen on the age of the art centre which had been operating since around the 1940s. "The building is very old, but we still need to ask experts to determine the cause of the collapse," local police spokesman Trunoyudo Wisnu Andiko told AFP. In February, the government temporarily halted all elevated transportation projects in Indonesia, after a dozen major accidents killed five and injured dozens more.
