Must see video & radio traffic: Building collapses as DC’s Truck 13 rides by
One civilian injured in collapse of building under renovation
Well this is kind of crazy, my security camera picked up a building randomly collapsing today.
The people on the street were walking on the spot 10 seconds earlier! Luckily no one was hurt I don't think.@PoPville @nbcwashington @fox5dc @wamu885 pic.twitter.com/ViyklfWE4V
