BROWNSVILLE (AP) — The
root and front wall of a department
store collapsed in a torrential rain
storm Thursday, killing at least six
people, injuring 32 and trapping-
others in the rubble, authorities Said.
“It looks real bad,” Cameron
County Sheriff Alex Perez said of
the disaster at the two-story down
town Amigo Stores in this city on the
Mexican border. “It’s a disaster. It
was just like a bomb hit that corner
store there.”
More than 4 hours after the acci
dent, emergency crews were still dig
ging through huge mounds of bro
ken cinderblocks, glass and
merchandise to pull out survivors
and look for more victims.
Rescuers also were cutting
through a wall inside a Woolworth’s
store next door to reach some of
those trapped.
Witnesses said they heard screams
from the wreckage.
Linens and clothing blown from
the store by high winds were being
used to wrap the wounds of the in
jured.
Ambulances and rescue personnel
were dispatched from throughout
the area, but were hampered in
reaching the scene by lloodwaters
from the downpour.
Adan Narvaez, a dispatcher for
the Brownsville Fire Department,
said at least six people were con
firmed dead, and Police Sgt. Dean
Poos said 32 had been taken to hos
pitals.
Poos said the dead included a
woman who was apparently crushed
as she sat in a car with Mexican li
cense plates in front of the building.
Two others were killed as they
stood under a canopy in front of the
store.
Perez said many people inside the
store were probably seeking refuge
from the rain.
An emergency treatment center
was set up at a civic center about two
blocks away.
The department store was located
about one block north of the inter
national bridge, and U.S. Border Pa
trol officials and other law enforce
ment agencies, including Mexican
authorities, assisted in the operation.

AIDS in B-CS

He was quoted as saying that sur
prisingly, in a conservative commu
nity such as B-CS, everyone he’s
dealt with has been very open about
him having AIDS.
One person who helps people like
Blaundet is Bonnie Fails — leader
and therapist of the only support
group in town for patients afflicted
with acquired immune deficiency
syndrome.
Another group exists for people
tested positive for the HIV virus and
Fails says a group for families of
AIDS patients will be started soon.
Most of the people Fails deals with
are between the ages of 20 and 35
and are concerned with dying, along
with the things everyone is con
cerned with.
Fails says people in the support
group simply talk about “whatever is
going on.”
“We talk about having the disease
and how to cope with it,” she says.
“We also talk about dating and how
to have a social life.”
Fails says she deals with AIDS pa
tients about the same way a person
would deal with someone dying of
cancer. They are both terminal dis
eases, she says, but with AIDS, vic
tims have to worry about the stigma
attached to it.
“People dying of AIDS don’t get
the support someone dying of can
cer gets,” she says. "A lot of them
also are having to deal with them be
ing gay — which is coming out for
the first time.
“A lot of" their concerns are the
same as yours and mine, except they
are confounded by the fact that they
have a disease. And it’s a disease a lot
of people are afraid of and have a lot
of misinformaton about.
