A building just collapsed on pedestrians on Bathursr for at the site of Bathurst Station

Apparently it was just scaffolding that collapsed, and everyone has been freed.
Pictures on Twitter show more than just scaffolding though.

Looks like this is the building that caused the scaffolding to collapse:

4 injured.
And not a breath of wind today - around here at least.
Edit - not just the scaffolding - looks like at least one wall looking at http://toronto.ctvnews.ca/several-p...-structure-collapses-in-forest-hill-1.2863991

Did it fall over from the shaking caused by a TBM?

It wasn't scaffolding, it was the whole building. I saw the building collapse.

They were doing demolition at the rear end of the building, and it looks like a bulldozer (or wherever it's called) pushed over the front of the building.

I didn't know House of Chan was pushed out for this project. I love that old school Canadian-Chinese cuisine and atmosphere - did they re-locate?

Yea they moved east on Eglinton, between Chaplin and Avenue Rd.
