183448P.pdf   01/03/2020  Westchester Surplus Lines Ins.  v.  Interstate Underground Warehse
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  18-3448
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City   
[PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Loken and Kobes, Circuit Judges] Civil case - Insurance. The district court did not err in determining that Interstate's losses in the collapse of limestone mine were not covered by the insurance policy issued by Westchester; applying the meaning that would be attached by an ordinary person of average understanding, the rubble zone about the natural ceiling of the mine was not part of the covered building; because the decay that caused the collapse occurred within the rubble zone, it follows that collapse was not caused by building decay as that term is used within the meaning of the policy.
