Unusual structure may have been held together by roof By Allan Woods, National Post
A key witness to the collapse of the Uptown, which dates back to 1920, said he watched a crane operator cutting beams that ran along the roof of the building with metal cutters.
"He cut little pieces first and then he cut a big steel beam from the roof and when he cut that one, then the whole damn thing came down like a ton of bricks," said Harry Lesik, 65, who was outside the nearby Manulife Centre. "There was very thick white dust everywhere. You couldn't see your hand in front of your face."
The theatre's outer wall fell away from the building and on to a neighbouring school.------------------------------------------- posted 3:44 PM :: reference link ::
