Heavy rain causes wall collapse
Posted on 21:40 by Unknown
From Eyewitness News:
Dozens of people had to be evacuated Saturday morning when a retaining wall collapsed in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan.
The residents were evacuated from an apartment building on Cabrini Avenue, after the collapse at a building behind it on Pinehurst Avenue.
The building manager says a fire escape was ripped off a wall of the apartment building.
About 100 residents were displaced by the 4 a.m. collapse, which affected 35 apartments in all that face the rear courtyard.
It is still unclear when they will be allowed back into their building.
