The roof of a BJ’s store in New Jersey collapsed this morning, apparently due to severe weather.
Although some shoppers ended up trapped in the structure for a while as emergency crews responded, miraculously, no one was hurt in the accident.
Imagine you’re just shopping at BJ’s, browsing the products you might buy and the next instant, the roof is falling in on you. It’s crazy.
FOX News has more details:
A large emergency response was triggered in Monmouth County, New Jersey, on Monday after a partial roof collapse at a local BJ’s Wholesale Club trapped multiple people inside during a wave of severe weather.
Just after 11:15 a.m. local time, emergency personnel rushed to the BJ’s Wholesale Club on Route 35 in Ocean Township following reports of the collapse, according to a statement from the Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office.
Shocking video appeared to show unsuspecting shoppers looking at grocery items seconds before the roof collapsed, sending a large amount of water gushing into the business.
Authorities confirmed 27 people were inside the building at the time of the incident, though no injuries were reported.
Two people were partially entrapped in the debris but managed to free themselves and safely escape the building.
Emergency teams deployed specialized rescue units to ensure the building was clear, conducting primary and secondary searches, according to the sheriff’s office.
