  "summary": "The bodies of six people, including four Americans, have been recovered from a collapsed building in Athens. The building, a small two-storey structure, came down following an explosion early on Friday in the city's historic Plaka district.\n\nThe blast, believed to have been caused by a gas leak according to Athens Mayor Haris Doukas, also damaged neighbouring buildings, which were evacuated.\n\nRescue operations were ongoing at the site, with around 30 rescuers and three sniffer dogs working to locate any remaining missing persons, including an elderly British man and a Greek woman.",
