Yesterday (9th January 2013) scaffolding collapsed from a high rise building narrowly missing pedestrians in the street below.

Luckily a motorcyclist was filming at the time and caught the terrifying incident on film. The location of this mystery collapse is unknown to ScaffMag other than somewhere in West London.
