Pastor explains what caused the collapse

Giving details of the project, the pastor said the church had raised pillars for the pavilion. The plan, he said, was to cast beams that would hold the pillars together.

However, the company in charge of the work decided to do everything at once using premixed concrete. As a result, the beams could not hold the pillars because the concrete had not dried well.
