——just like people out for a stroll and they get killed by a tree branch falling on them...you just never know when your time is going to be up...or if you’re near the wrong tree at the wrong time-must be the planet fighting back ;)

I was going to suggest Rumsfeld and Cheney.

Prob the smoke made it sneeze and it fell over.

I'm just glad it didn't hold it against me personally.

Prayers.

The update on the story says that the building was being demolished.

Something collapsed faster than they expected. Always a little dicey when you're taking down an old building, stuff can give way.

I will never understand all the one-liners and joking that accompany threads like this during the early hours of a tragedy involving the possible loss of human life.

We were on a canoe trip in the Adirondacks years and years ago, we were going to climb Ampersand Mountain, we were camped on Norway Island in Middle Saranac Lake, as we were walking the trail between the Lake and Route 3, a 3-4’ diameter tree decided to pick that exact moment to fall over...I have never been so stunned in my life...

You just never really know. Either it’s a close call and we all look back and say, “Whew! that was close!” — or it isn’t, and then our friends visit us in the hospital or the cemetery.

One Sunday afternoon my wife was outside, reading in a vinyl Adirondack chair under our Black Walnut tree. About 20 minutes after going inside the house, a big limb came down directly across the chair and obliterated it.

It looks to me that a column or structural wall was altered in the center of the 4 story building. That movement of support on the left side of that building caused collapse toward the hapless thrift store.
