Tragedy Strikes: Central Bank of Canada Collapses, Killing 100
Ottawa, May 8, 2025 — In a catastrophic incident early this morning, the Central Bank of Canada collapsed at approximately 1:00 AM, resulting in the deaths of at least 100 workers. Among the casualties were senior central banking officials, whose identities have yet to be confirmed.
Emergency services responded within minutes to the site of the collapse in downtown Ottawa. Rescue crews have been working tirelessly to recover survivors from the rubble. As of now, dozens remain unaccounted for, and officials fear the death toll may rise.
The cause of the collapse is still under investigation. Initial reports suggest a possible structural failure, but authorities have not ruled out other factors. Engineers, safety experts, and federal investigators are on site examining the debris.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issued a statement shortly after news broke: “This is a devastating day for Canada. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those lost. We will do everything in our power to uncover the truth behind this tragedy.”
The Central Bank of Canada, a cornerstone of the nation’s financial system, has never experienced a disaster of this scale in its history. The government has enacted emergency protocols to ensure continued financial operations and maintain public confidence.
Grief counselors and support centers have been set up for affected families, while flags across the country will fly at half-mast for the next three days.
