Partial collapse brings Niagra Falls building demolition to a halt.
Demolition of the old Rosbergs department store resumed Monday morning but ground to a halt hours later when an excavator fell through the floor into the basement.
A Komatsu excavator was working in the middle of the demolition site pulling steel girders out of the site. At around 2.45, the machine moved into what used to be the centre of the store’s first floor. There was a loud crack as the wooden floor gave way and the excavator sank slowly -one set of tracks on the first floor, the other mired in the basement.
