A “loud bang” was heard in Manchester city centre as a building partially collapsed.
The property is at a demolition site near Bridge Street and Greater Manchester Fire Service (GMFRS) has confirmed no one was in the building at the time.
One witness told the BBC they heard an “almighty crash” as the building came down.
“We turned to look and the building was collapsing. It didn’t look planned, as there was lots of scaffolding still up and there were people in the building next door rushing to the windows to check what happened.
