A fortunately pedestrian narrowly avoided being crushed by falling bricks yesterday as he walked past a collapsing building in high winds – with 65mph gusts on the way this week thanks to Storm Gareth as conditions worsen.
CCTV footage showed the man strolling along the busy pavement in Hackney, East London, when a mass of bricks and rubble crashed to the ground in a cloud of dust just seconds after he walked past a café.
The man narrowly missed being crushed by the collapsing building. London Fire Brigade said no one was hurt in the incident on Stoke Newington High Street but the clean-up of the rubble took almost two hours.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
