Collapsed church demolished…

New York church demolished after catastrophic collapse.

Crews worked throughout the night to demolish the former St. Louis Catholic Church after the building partially collapsed Sunday afternoon.

According to Oswego police Capt. Tory DeCaire, authorities decided to immediately demolish the building after the collapse because the parts of the structure still standing were unstable.

Bystanders were cleared from the vicinity and the Oswego City Fire Department began using high-intensity hoses about 8:35 p.m. Sunday to knock down the steeple, the largest and most dangerous part of the building still standing.
