The building just.......collapsed? Do they have many buildings over there that just......collapse?
Could they be keeping something from the public ?
Perhaps a bomb ?
Presumably it collapsed under the weight of the 18 kilometers of loaded shelves. But per previous stories, adjacent construction of a subway had been causing various problems for a few years, including a church that ended up with its tower leaning 3 feet to one side. When I first saw the story, I assumed the building was some historic structure, but it was actually built in 1971.
A piece at one of the links says that a “tube” tunnel was being dug under the front wall.
