Miracle escape as Waco worker rides collapsed Dennis building
Max Halve, 49, an electrician on the fifth floor, survived the Dennis Building collapse in Waco when the roof blew into Fifth Street and the bottom fell away. He crawled out 20 feet above street level, thanked the Lord, and found his tools and glasses intact. The tale contrasts with Tokyo Shibuya cabaret scams that prey on patrons, detailing tactics, arrest limits, and high losses from robberies.
