Question

Why they dont immediately remove rubble from a building collapse when one occurs.

Answer 1

I’m no engineer but I believe two reasons: 1) They have to do a search and rescue. Just going in hog wild and removing debris could lead to further collapse, which plays into 2) They have to do it in a certain way to prevent further collapse and risking the lives of first responders.
