Buildings collapsing during renovations aren't a new thing though. For example, a 17th-century house in Vienna collapsed in the mid-1930s while bricklayers were enlarging a window opening on the ground floor. Miraculously, no one was injured if I remember correctly.

The amount of stupidity some people have is astounding. If you want an open concept, buy new construction.
I hate to sound callous, but I hope insurance didn't pay for this.
