However, when the Pulse team visited the scene of the reported collapse, it was discovered that two people were attempting to demolish the building, which had already been marked for demolition, before it caved in.

The two affected workers later left the scene to receive medical treatment for their injuries.

The LASBCA also confirmed to The Nation that no building collapsed.
