When the Wall Fell in
At 6 o’clock, April 21, 2006, the living room and front part of this man’s house fell in. The man was having construction workers dig a hole under the front of the house to add on another room. The workers weren’t there when the accident happened, so nobody was hurt. The reporters asked the host: “What were you doing when the rooms fell in?”
He answered, “My wife and I were talking to guests. We were showing them the cracks in the front room when we heard a loud sound. The cracks were growing larger, so we called the construction company. But it was too late. The construction workers were still driving here when the rooms fell in.”
While the reporters were talking, the host’s wife was crying, and refused to have her picture taken.
“I was standing right here outside the front room when it fell in,” she said.
“It gave me the biggest shock of my life.”
The host informed his insurance company about the accident, and it will pay to rebuild the house. The construction company says that the house will soon be as good as a new one. But they lost most of the things in the house forever.
