Building collapse in Athens kills six including four Americans
A group of Plaka residents had alerted the municipality and the managers of the electricity and gas networks about the risks of short circuits or gas leaks in the area a year ago.
A resident of the street where the explosion occurred had reported a smell of gas for several weeks and had warned the authorities.
The other two victims were reportedly an elderly couple, a British man and a Greek woman, who lived on the building's second floor.
