26th Street, just seconds before the fall
Above: A video on Bishop Matthew E. Bradby II’s Facebook page shows the street just before the collapse.
This is an amazing video clip.
It shows the south side of East 26th Street at a crazy angle, with parked cars ominously tilted, just seconds before the street itself cracks open and the whole mess – asphalt, cars, curb, sidewalk, trees, retaining wall, iron fence – is pitched into the gully below and onto the CSX tracks.
