Crews on Monday morning started demolishing the remains of a six-story apartment building in Davenport, Iowa, that partially collapsed more than two weeks ago, killing three people and leaving dozens homeless.
The city said in a news release Sunday night that officials have been discussing how to tear down the building with structural engineers, regulatory authorities and the company doing the work. As a precaution, the city ordered that residents of nearby apartments vacate their homes during the demolition.Davenport, Iowa fire chief says 8 people rescued, more than a dozen others escorted from apartment building that partially collapsed.
Since the collapse, officials have faced repeated questions about why tenants were allowed to stay in the building despite warnings that it had serious structural problems. The day before the collapse, firefighters were called to the building because of concerns about an unstable wall. On Sunday, the city said in a news release that fire crews went to the building and saw work was being done and that there appeared to be shoring of the structure in place.
The release adds that a city building inspector also visited the site that day and "determined that the work appeared to be progressing in accordance with the plans and specifications previously submitted by a professional engineer." The city said there were "no observable signs of difficulty or bowing in the external shoring."that I have read and agree
