SoiBiker Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 ...in a populated area......wow... Should they have moved the building to an unpopulated area before demolishing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackcab Posted April 11, 2016 Share Posted April 11, 2016 Did I understand correctly? A building was being demolished and while this was happening people chose to sit inside the building and eat. Later, as the demolition progressed the people became scared and ran out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
