Collapsed 6-Storey Building





A 6-storey building The Don de Dieu Plaza collapsed recently at Maryland, Lagos. The building is located at 11, Aderibigbe Street, was occupied by over 10 companies as at the time it collapsed.

More than 350 people escaped death as they had been evacuated before the building collapsed.

The evacuation took place because prior to it's collapse, the building shook to its foundation and occupants and neighbours heard a very loud noise yesterday at about 3pm, giving signs that all was not well. Less than two hours after all the occupants had left the building, it collapsed. No casualty was recorded.

Usually before bad things happen, signs occur. What do you do with it? Do you take action or wait for the disaster to happen? Please be discerning.
