Firefighters ordered residents of an Beacon Hill apartment complex after bricks sheared off from the back of the building.
SEATTLE — A rude New Year’s surprise forced residents out into the street after bricks on a Seattle apartment building tumbled to the ground.
A section of bricks fell off the Lander apartment building Sunday afternoon. No one was hurt but Seattle Fire ordered the building evacuated. Many people in the area heard those bricks fall off. They all described the sound differently. But you can certainly see the result — bricks sheared off the back of this apartment building, with the people who live here, inside.“I was working a very long night on New Year’s Eve,” said Vera Pashkevich, “so I was half asleep when it happened.”“It sounded like an earthquake,” said Pashkevich. “Like it just sounded like heavy falling bricks. I thought it was an earthquake at first.
It was about 3 p.m. Sunday. The falling bricks got the attention of her neighbors on both sides of South Lander Street. “We were in the living room down there and we heard a big whoosh,” said Matthew Lapora, who has lived next door for 16 years. “And we thought it was some of the snow coming off of our roof because that’s sort of a similar sound.”
