The Forefathers Chicken Store is located across the street from the collapsed building
Across the street from the collapsed building is a chicken shop called Forefeathers, where one of the workers witnessed what happened.
In fact, he was delivering an Amazon package, his second job, to apartment number two in the complex just minutes before it collapsed.
The man, who did not want to share his name, described hearing a huge, loud “boom.”
He said he was shocked to see the building he had just been in reduced to rubble.
He adds that after a minute or two, firefighters were on scene with several trucks. They quickly closed the street.
He, like others here, believes the complex built in the 1930s was affected by the construction next door. It’s not yet clear and residents are waiting to see what the investigation reveals.
