Tuesday night, there was an unbelievable sight to see in the Bronx. A section of an apartment building's facade simply collapsed into the street overnight. Cynthia Guaba reports.
This happened at building 1195 on Sherman Avenue in the Concourse section of the Bronx.
From the street, you could see the inside of people's homes. The collapse scene looked like an open dollhouse. Police say this wall collapsed around 11:30 p.m. last night. The entire side of the wall from the six-story building just fell. The wall fell into a parking lot crushing several cars.
Residents said they heard crackling and rumbling. Fortunately, all of them were evacuated before the 15-foot-section of the wall fell. Amazingly, no one was injured or killed from this collapse.
Officials are investigating what caused the wall to collapse. At the moment, residents are staying at a nearby school which is PS-90.
