Article Featured Image

CCTV footage shows the moment Tania Flats collapsed in Paceville last Wednesday.

The building crumbled into rubble just hours after 32 people were evacuated.

In the days leading up to the collapse, concerned architect Chris Mintoff made two police reports and one Building and Constructions Authority report, warning that it was only a matter of time.

The country narrowly avoided a national tragedy with concerns about construction safety resurfacing yet again.

The BCA blocked off the area and began inspecting surrounding buildings to establish their structural integrity. This led to the evacuation of some 40 people as well as the demolition of the remaining section of the collapsed residential building.

Footage shared by Lovin Malta prior to its demolition shows the building with several cracks along the wall.

In a joint statement, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA), the Occupational Health & Safety Authority (OHSA), and the Civil Protection Department (CPD) said the demolition process took three days.
