AZUZ, HOST, CNN STUDENT NEWS: This Friday is especially awesome
for the Blythewood High Bengals in Blythewood, South Carolina.
One of you got our social media question of the week correct, so
congratulations on that. I`m Carl Azuz, welcoming everyone to
CNN Student News.   AZUZ: First up, we`re reporting on rescue
efforts in Brazil after the sudden collapse of several

were 10 and four stories, and they were commercial buildings. So

AZUZ (voice-over): Dust and rubble went flying through the air

workers had recovered three bodies from the wreckage. They`d
also rescued five people who had been injured. Sixteen people
were still missing.  Offici
