Jan 29, 2019 #6 hokie66 Structural Jul 19, 2006 22,682 Reports attribute the collapse to a mudslide after heavy rains. Looks like the hotel was build into the hillside, and perhaps the roof was supported on the retaining wall which was moved down the hill by the slide. https://www.ibtimes.com/peru-hotel-...led-injured-photos-show-damage-rescue-2756715 Upvote 0 Downvote
