What they opted for instead was 24 hr remotely monitored camera system which incorporated multiple cameras on each floor, at the entrance door to the building and inside each lift.

What the penny pinching pen pushers decided to do however, was to decide against putting the camera system on the stairwells.

To compound this lapse further they also decided not to extend the key tag entry system to the stairwell door in a way that would correspond with fire safety requirements. In 18 floor apartment building they left the downstairs stairwell door open to anyone who can tailgate (follow in behind) a legitimate resident at the main entrance door.

The highly predictable net result of this is that the stairwells of these high-rise buildings are often used for drugs, alcohol, loitering, and toilet needs by stoned or drunk gangs of youths and young men who have no business being in the buildings.

These stairwells become no go areas of dread and fear to many elderly residents or lone female residents forced to use them especially when the unreliable rickety lifts are out of order which they usually are.

So yes… to the penny pinching pen pushers at Leicester city council who came up with this whole situation www.stpetersnm.com would like to say “Thank you”… “Thank you very much indeed”. No doubt none of you live here!!!

The ATA bus ran into two buildings at Admiral Boulevard and Oak Street. A corner of one of the buildings was sheared off.

Three bus passengers and its driver were briefly trapped inside the bus.

“I grabbed (the bus driver) by her hand. She was upset. Her leg, she couldn’t get it out,” witness Stephanie Wynn told KMBC.

Firefighters freed the passengers and the driver. The passengers were not hurt. The driver of the bus was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Wynn was headed to a job interview when she saw the wreck.

“It was just so loud and so sudden and scary,” Wynn said. “The bus hit a slick spot, she couldn’t maneuver. She ran directly into the wall.”

“We heard honking for almost 30 seconds, and then we hear just the biggest crash we ever heard,” said Laura Deangelis, who lives in an apartment building that was hit. “We ran downstairs and lo and behold, the corner of the building is gone.”

“I heard a loud crash, and at first I thought my co-worker had dropped something or scaffolding had fallen over,” construction worker Bryon Bowman said.

Bowman was part of a renovation crew in the other building hit. The plan was to reopen the building next month.

“It’ll put a crimp in my completion date,” Bowman said.

“Bricks and mortar. We’ll fix it and we’ll move on,” building owner Ken Bowman said.

Authorities evacuated the apartment building as a precaution until its stability could be checked out.

“They told us to evacuate the building, that it could collapse,” Deangelis said.

Both buildings were determined to be structurally sound.
