In Lahore, Pakistan, a roof collapsed over a room full of children seeking a better future through education, killing fourteen of them. The building had stood long enough to be trusted, then failed in an instant — exposing not just a structural weakness, but a systemic one. Tutoring centers across Pakistan operate in a regulatory gray zone, where building codes exist in law but rarely in practice. The grief of fourteen families now asks a question that outlasts any single investigation: how many other roofs are holding up only by chance?
