A four-storeyed building collapsed in Surat yesterday, but there were no casualties as the fire brigade had evacuated the occupants in time. Occupants of Firdosh Guest House, in Kamela Darwaja area, had found building had tilted in the morning. The shopkeepers tried to open the shutter of their shops but were unable to lift it. They informed the fire brigade and vacated the building. Official say the two huge hoardings on top of the building may have caused the collapse. According to official sources the Firdaus building on the busy Ring road was damaged during the last year floods. The building collapsed like a pack of cards.
I am sure we all have seen a collapsed building before, but this photo is amazing.
