Historic church collapses in Connecticut

A historic church collapsed in New London, Connecticut, on Thursday, January 25.

Furthermore, the collapsed building was the First Congregational Church, a Gothic Revival-style church that was built in the early 1850s.

The incident was caught on tape by a nearby middle school’s camera, depicting the moment that the steeple fell on itself.

Furthermore, there was no service taking place at the time of the collapse, while the resulting debris was contained within the church grounds.

It is worth mentioning that nobody got injured in the event, while one person was miraculously found safe and sound inside the church after its collapse, according to the authorities.

The reasons behind the collapse were not immediately known, while there had not been any indication of structural deficiencies prior to the event.

Finally, the day after the incident, it was decided that the structure would be demolished, while the operation is expected to be completed within this week.
