Regarding this portion of the article:
"although it's not clear how much of the building was taken down intentionally by workers and how much came down of its own accord."

The front of the building is the portion that collapsed (the 2nd street side where you see the JCFD looking at the building in the pic). A majority of the building had already been gutted over the last couple of weeks prior to the front/face of the building collapsing. Just in case anyone wondered
