Members of the emergency services look at the remains of the former town archive of the German city of Cologne, following the collapse of the building March 3, 2009. More than 200 rescue workers rushed to the scene in the south of the city after the collapse of the multi-storey building, which German media said may have been sparked by work on an underground train line. At least one person was injured and possibly others are trapped inside, a Cologne police spokesman said, adding the cause for the collapse was still unclear. In background is Cologne Cathedral.
