An eight-man construction brigade was on the roof of a hangar at the cosmodrome - which Russia uses as its main launch site - when it caved in, said Kairzhan Turezhanov, a spokesman for the Kazakh Emergency Situations Committee. Russia would not allow Kazakh rescuers to approach the building, which was still unsteady, Turezhanov said.

It had not been used since the Buran program was abandoned in 1993 after making one successful unmanned flight in 1988. A Buran ship was in the hangar at the time of the accident, RTR said.
