Steeple of historic church collapses in Connecticut



Security camera footage captures the moment a historic Connecticut church’s steeple and roof collapsed on Thursday, leaving a gaping hole in the top of the building. No injuries were reported, officials said. The stone building dates to around 1850, according to state building records, though the congregation dates back to the mid-1600s, its website says.

  1. It's a good job it was an old one. But still sad to lose historical architecture.

  2. How sad! Such a beautiful church 😢

  3. and it’s true that anything we make or build will never be everlasting.

  4. That says it all.. that structure was not safe in the first place 😅

  5. At least God is in our hearts by the spirit, no need for a church. We have the Bible.

  6. Church gave up the Holy Ghost and died.

  7. Building longevity is all about MAINTENANCE, which is typically very costly, and too often completely ignored. This is a very sad loss.

  8. What happens the god don’t like this church?😂

  9. 🔥GOD👑✝️🔥is ANGRY🔥 🌈Pride comes before a fall🔥

  10. God is I no longer with us 🙂

  11. So sad when a city loses an historic land mark. 😢

  12. Anyone notice the construction workers didn’t even flinch ???? Not even look in that direction 🧐 ummm basically a whole building collapses right behind you and no reaction… was it set up ( asking for a friend )

  13. It's a building. They decay and fall. Stop trying to make this some religious miracle. Dont you people have burnt toast to find faces in?

  14. Wonderfully convenient with that camera in place

  15. Did anyone notice the aged woman on the far right trying to stand up?………The fallen church seems ironic.

  16. They were going to pray for Joe to win again.

  17. 😂😂😂😂 Praise YHWH

  18. Times up the iron ore has finally returned to its original state

  19. To the left …. No to the right …. a little more left , well dang that didn’t work 😅

  20. Tactical, ritual sabotage and demolition, discourtesy of freemasonry. As with Notre Dame in Paris five years ago.

    The press are cowards and won’t go there, though.

  21. Godless Connecticut. Damn the old buildings.

  22. Maybe it was leaning too far to the "left" ????… 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  23. I think God is sending them a message.

  24. Did they make it a same sex church before this

  25. Bad sign for the country who makes war in the world !
