In New York, a seven-story building collapsed in an impressive manner. The collapse was filmed, and given the scale of the rubble, one wonders how there could have been no victims. The TF1 news shows you the images.
The building collapsed like a house of cards. In just a few seconds, a child’s bedroom was empty. In the images from the TF1 video above, all the apartments on the corner of the brick building seem to be hanging by a thread.
A CCTV camera recorded the collapse and the scene of panic it caused in the streets of the Bronx, New York, on Monday afternoon. In these images, we see a school bus disappearing into the smoke. At that time, the area was very busy. “Everything suddenly collapsed, people panicked, there were cars everywhere, it was total confusion“, says a witness in our video. “I couldn’t see anything anymore. My eyes hurt so much…“, confides another.
Around thirty people lived in these apartments. After hours of searching in the rubble, no casualties were reported according to the firefighters, only two minor injuries. The occupants of the building were relocated to a nearby school.
An investigation must determine the causes of the collapse of this building dating from 1927 and whose facade was under renovation. Three years ago, an inspection revealed several cracked bricks and an increasingly unstable general structure.
