Man dies after partial building collapse in London

[Mr-Trainor]

"A man working on a construction site in central London has died after a building partially collapsed...The service said it sent three ambulance crews, three single responders in cars, a hazardous area response team, the air ambulance and two officers."

Isn't really much information. It's in/near Grosvenor Square which is near Bond Street, and the site itself was very closed to the US Embassy. At least one other construction worker was injured too .

That area is being developed at the moment. I think CrossRail are doing something with the underground station there too, although there is no suggestion that the ground gave way due to that at the moment.

I doubt it's related to Crossrail - I'm sure I read that it was the first floor (or part of it) that collapsed at this construction site. Crossrail tunnels will be/are definitely nearby though.

Oh wow I was only there the other day. Shame about the man dieing!

Seems unlikely but construction elsewhere seems to always be the blame for anything that goes wrong in London. The walkie talkie melting cars and a crane causing a helicopter to crash are two loosely relevant examples
