Building Collapses

Many buildings suffer a collapse during of following a fire, which serves to destabilize a structure. Likewise many fires which occurred during the 2020 Chauvin Riots  are not covered here except for major multi-floor structures. Some of these listings are outside the Twin Cities metropolitan area, as the metro area is continuing to expand. Collapse due to natural gas explosions are not included here, although there are many.
