Amateur video captures moment Nebraska demolition goes awry.
The Old Village Hall in downtown Arlington is the building that was supposed to be demolished, but in the process, a wall on the south side of the structure collapsed and crashed into the north wall of the post office.
Grefe Excavating said they had started demolition there on Wednesday, and the area will eventually be the site of the town’s new municipal building.
Representatives with the company said the hall was in worse shape than they had thought. The freestanding wall on the south came down unexpectedly as they worked on the north side with an excavator.
A clerk and customer were inside the post office at the time of the accident.
