<p>Jo Ho-ik, a fire department official, said rescue workers temporarily stopped searching in the evening for the missing people — believed to be construction workers on the site — because of concerns that the structure could crumble further.</p>
<p>He said workers could resume searching on Wednesday depending on a safety inspection.</p>
<p>Emergency workers rescued three labourers, including two who had been trapped in a shipping container pounded by rubble, after the exterior wall of the 39-floor structure partially collapsed on Tuesday afternoon.</p>
<p>One of the workers who were rescued was treated for minor injuries.</p>
<p>The collapse destroyed at least 10 vehicles parked below and forced emergency officials to evacuate 109 families and around 90 shops in nearby buildings.</p>
<p>Officials are investigating the cause of the collapse.</p>
<p>They said 394 workers had been employed at the construction site, including the six who remain out of contact.</p>
