The building in Shanghai's Changning district was being renovated when it collapsed late in the morning, trapping some 20 people inside, the fire service said in a statement. More than 150 rescuers are on the scene and had pulled out 11 survivors by early afternoon, the fire service said. It did not say how the building collapsed.
