Electric cables burst into flames as an eight-story office building which was leaning precariously for days in one of Manila's busy commercial districts, collapses Friday July 23, 2004, hours after occupants fled in panic following creaking sounds and bursting water pipes. No injuries were reported but the incident damaged another building across the street. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)

Yeah, I saw that on the news yesterday. Scary stuff, to say the least. Amazingly, no one was hurt.
