He described the moment as sounding “like a rumbling – a bit like an earthquake”, adding, “you can’t be prepared for anything like this” and that everyone “helped each other out”.

Another witness said: “There was just this sort of cracking sort of noise and dust started coming down. Me and my friend just ran to the side and the whole thing just came down in a matter of seconds.”

London Ambulance Service are treating the collapse as a major incident.
