Falling building sends diners running

Diners had a lucky escape when a building collapsed in Port Delgado, Portugal.

People in a cafe had a lucky escape and a camera crew filming outside captured the whole incident.

The structure was evacuated just moments before the outside wall began to fall apart.

An eyewitness said the wall had been weakened when an adjacent house was demolished two years ago.

A metal structure had been installed to support the house.

But the scaffolding was not strong enough to keep the building up.
