I live here on this side street. I didn’t hear, just that people were driving everything here. It was 8 a.m., about 40 minutes ago. , we were walking, “he said.
Metalworker Milton Oliveira, 48, thought the noise was due to a car accident. “I was in a building across the street doing holding a door when it collapsed. For me it had been a truck that had crashed. When we ran, it had collapsed. There were a couple inside and they left quickly. Thank God everything is fine. Two internet guys were left without him. It was a loud noise. After the collapse, a little lady and a boy came out. It was around 9:30 to 10 am. Two minutes later, the police car fell down. “
Evacuated buildings
Major Juliano Rocha of the Fire Department said surrounding buildings were also evacuated. Although the event took place only in this building, we think it is more appropriate to evacuate the surrounding buildings. The Civil Defense will carry out the inspection and, after the inspection, we will evaluate if those from the surroundings can return or not, if they need to stay a few more days. Then all this will be outlined later. But the important thing is to point out that there were no victims, the situation is under control, the buildings have been evacuated and now there is only really left to monitor ”.
