The death toll after the collapse of the school in Haiti has risen to 93 as of this writing and search and rescue efforts are switching to recovery mode.
150 have been injured and only four children have been found alive.
In other news about the incident Augustin Fortain, the Pastor and owner of the school has been charged with manslaughter.
At the time of the collapse, builders had been adding a new floor to the school. The pastor had reportedly designed the building himself without the help of engineers.
Officials in the impoverished country, which was devastated by four hurricanes and tropical storms this year, promised an investigation into the school's construction and others that might be at risk.
"This construction did not meet normal standards. We are going to ask the minister of education to make an inspection of all the schools built in the same way," said Yvon Bissereth, a senator.
