Family Dollar reportedly 'tilting' two days before deadly collapse in Kansas City
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A newly obtained report on Monday shows that just days before the roof of a Family Dollar in Kansas City partially collapsed, killing one person and injuring three others, a resident reported safety and structural concerns to the city. According to city records, a report was filed on Friday after a resident thought they saw the building 'tilting.' The report claims that the resident alerted the city and filed a property violation. Vigil held for fallen Wyandotte deputy Elijah Ming However, on Sunday at about 2:45 p.m., first responders throughout Kansas City were called to a Family Dollar near 37th and Broadway Boulevard after hearing reports that the building had partially collapsed, landing on customers in and around the store. A 68-year-old man was killed when the front facade of the structure fell, and three others were injured, including a 50-year-old woman who was taken to a hospital. Since then, it has been reported that all three victims are expected to survive. Although law enforcement is still investigating the cause of the structure collapse, many residents and public officials are looking for answers. Kansas City Councilman Crispin Rea, who lives nearby, emphasized the need for a thorough investigation to prevent future incidents. 'Ultimately, the responsibility for securing your building falls on the property owner,' Rea said. 'However, and this is an important however, the city plays a role for an important reason. That role is to make ourselves aware of dangerous buildings, to inspect them, and make determinations on next steps that need to happen, and hold property owners accountable. While that responsibility falls on the property owner, we have an important role to play, and that's something we need to look at moving forward.' Who was Elijah Ming? Tributes roll in for Wyandotte County deputy shot, killed in KCK On Monday, Family Dollar released a statement regarding the deadly collapse. It read, 'We are deeply saddened by the tragedy at the leased Family Dollar store on Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City. Our hearts and thoughts are with those impacted.' Family Dollar continued, 'We are conducting wellness checks with our employees and offering them resources and assistance. The Company is conducting an investigation into this matter.' Although Family Dollar is conducting its own investigation, Kansas City police have blocked off part of the surrounding area to continue their investigations and determine what caused the building's collapse.

Cambridge street closures could last for months as condo complex is torn down, city says
Starting Saturday, the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts is shutting downs streets to all vehicle and pedestrian traffic due to structural concerns at the Riverview Condominiums on Mt. Auburn Street. Sparks Street is closing between Brattle Street and Mt. Auburn Street and Mt. Auburn Street is closing between Lowell Street and Willard Street. These road segments and sidewalks will be closed to vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians. The 71 and 73 buses will also be detoured. On Memorial Drive, the right westbound lane will be closed to traffic between Hawthorn Street and Gerrys Landing Road. People who live inside the closure area will still have access, with the city saying they've already reached out to these residents. The city said this could last for months as they continue demolition on Riverview Condominiums. WBZ-TV first reported on the unsafe conditions at the Riverview Condominiums at 221 Mt. Auburn St. back in November. City officials said the building is not safe because of structural issues found during roof and drainage repairs. All the residents, many of whom were seniors, moved out late last year. Many residents hoped they could one day return, but the city said the condo association concluded that fixing the building isn't feasible, and it will need to be taken down as soon as possible. They hope to have the demolition completed by the end of the year. More information on the closures can be found on the City of Cambridge's website.
