04.30 New York City Building Collapse
This woke me up -- as I literally felt my building move.
I live on the corner of Church and Chambers in Tribeca, and this building (apparently abandoned), just fell down into Reade St. 5 helicopters and 10 fire engines later, I decided to head down and see if I was going to need to evacuate. Apparently, my building is fine.
These shots are completely original. I was the only person on the roof at the time (my building), and they shut off access soon afterwards. There was an empty parking lot next to the building that fell down, which is why you can see the side.
