Residents escape huge building collapse in Cairo
- 9 years ago
A dramatic video has emerged of an entire block of flats collapsing in Cairo, Egypt on Thursday.
Residents were evacuated minutes before the building came crashing down - with all miraculously escaping unscathed.
According to the filmer, whose uncle occupied one of the doomed flats, work on building an adjacent block had caused deep cracks to appear in the building.
Residents had woken that morning to strange noises and saw actual movement in the building's structure when an evacuation was decided to be necessary.
Despite losing their home and all their possessions, nobody was reportedly hurt in the incident.
