Up to 100 Amazon employees working a night shift ahead of Christmas are believed to have been trapped when the warehouse collapsed after a series of tornadoes, and it is not clear how many may still be trapped.
Amazon chief Jeff Bezos said he was "heartbroken" Saturday after at least six people were killed at an Amazon warehouse in the US state of Illinois when it was struck by a tornado.
"The news from Edwardsville is tragic," Bezos tweeted about the town where the facility was located.
"We're heartbroken over the loss of our teammates there, and our thoughts and prayers are with their families and loved ones."
The warehouse was struck by a series of tornadoes that ripped across six US states, killing more than 80 people in total in what President Joe Biden said was likely to be "one of the largest" storm outbreaks in history.
