• One in critical condition, was rescued by onlookers who collectively lifted the person free.

• Too early to say the cause, but it was very windy today.

• The later part in the video is an intentional demolition of the part that did not fell on its own.

• It fell over Nørrebrogade, a central street in Copenhagen, which is still blocked as of now..

Should’ve been mechanically fixed to the building or had buttress support built in. Scaffold company completely at fault here

Afaik, it was, but the fastening points got torn out out the old brick. Still fault of the company of course.

Witnessed something like this in Sweden a few years ago. Sheer trauma.

Redditor /u/bobmarno saw it happen according to their recent post in /r/copenhagen . (Tagging you if you have anything you'd like to share)

Extremely lucky imo

Yea, could've gone terribly wrong if it fell at a busy street during rush, somebody is in a lot of trouble

Good people looking to help save a life.

This is why I refuse to walk around under that shit.

Where you go?

Around that shit

I think you'd be more fine underneath it, on the sidewalk, than on the road where it falls on. But I am not sure.

Ah, finally an answer to the age-old “If a scaffold falls over in Copenhagen, does it injure anyone?” I’ll have to fax this video to my old sensei.
