Demolition Underway After Deadly Collapse of Iowa Apartment Building
- Demolition has begun on an Iowa apartment building that collapsed over two weeks ago, killing three people and leaving dozens homeless.
- The building, located in downtown Davenport, partially collapsed on May 28, and the demolition process is expected to take several weeks due to the presence of hazardous materials.
- Nearby residents have been ordered to evacuate during the demolition as a precaution.
- Officials faced questions about why tenants were allowed to stay in the building despite warnings of structural problems.
- Eight people were rescued in the first 24 hours after the collapse, and a ninth person was found alive the following day.
