stories is the question. They had very little that we would consider standard for a tall building.
Building collapses are common in Egypt and are often caused by shoddy construction or the unauthorized building of extra stories.
The last such incident was May 4, when a seven-story apartment building collapsed in Cairo, killing at least seven people.
