Building collapse

 

Unfortunately, every city has a at some point due to cracks, falling walls, water seeping into the foundation of the building, etc.

_How did the Odriozola building located on García Barbón street in Vigo happen?

On March 2, 1999, the entire property collapsed due to the demolition that was carried out on the adjoining property with which it shared a wall.

In which a building with four floors and an attic completely collapsed, supposedly the wall that it shared with the neighboring building dragged it down while demolition works were being carried out on the other building, in the ground floor neighbor's warehouse.

However, neither civil nor civil was able to prove the guilt of the promoter declared in absentia for not attending the trial. The family of the deceased and some almost hundred-year-old neighbors were exonerated from paying the costs...

_ On February 11, 2021, an abandoned building located on República Argentina street has suffered a collapse, there is no personal damage but the next Coliseo gym has been affected.

_Today, June 14, 2023, the unfortunate residents of building number 5 on Serafín Avendaño street have been evicted since supposedly the works of a parking lot that is being built on the next lot have caused cracks and movements that predicted a fatal outcome. Firefighters and police go there to settle the walls as much as possible after the collapse of part of the cornice of the façade.

However, the most famous collapse did not occur in a building but in the port of Vigo itself in the Parque As Avenidas. During the O Marisquiño Festival in August 2018, some 400 people were injured after the platform they were on fell and fell into the water on top of each other. Subsequently, the Vigo City Council and the Port Authorities indicated that a structural failure occurred and was supposedly not due to maintenance problem
