Graffiti Artist + Community Builder “Phade” (Jessey Pacho) landed a job coordinating a mural project for 5 youth in the Don Mills Rd/Overlea Rd area of Toronto in July+August, 2010. In his search for a permission wall to do his City of Toronto funded graffiti art project, he contactedCst Scott Mills, Toronto Police Social Media Officer/Legal Graffiti Art Coordinator, with whom he and his Tribal Bridgez Crew have collaborated on graffiti community building projects since 2007. Cst Mills had been working on an idea of a graffiti art mural being done on the side of the Ontario Coroner’s Office at 25 Grenville St that showed respect to soldiers killed in the line of duty and their families, who are brought back to Canadian soil on the Highway of Heroes, ending at the Coroners office. Jessey did not have the time for a long approval process, so Cst Mills and Jessey took a walk down the laneway where the end of the Highway of Heroes arrives at the Coroner’s office. The funding of the graffiti project was to find a location that had vandalism graffiti and transform the area to graffiti art and community building. The premise opposite the entrance to the Coroner’s Office had a lot of vandalism graffiti on the building. It is a Japanese restaurant known as “Sushi Sky” at 478 Yonge St, Toronto. The police officer and graffiti artist went in to speak to the property owner- Alan Wang. Jessey showed Mr. Wang is portfolio of previous graffiti art work.. and Mr. Wang showed Jessey what …

@rollinlowford During the recorded time it was collapsed within the rubble. Fortunately the operator had escaped with his life though he had sustained a nasty leg injury and was in-route to hospital. It was feared others may have been trapped so a call went out to Toronto for special cadaver dogs to be brought in. Luckily the operator was the only person present in the structure though many people had been prepared to come out to their cars as their lunch break was about to start.
wheres the crane ?
@TheBlueFalconX It was, and still is, a two-level parking garage. The facility was quickly rebuilt after the collapse. The ground level platform fell into the lower level. Luckily a potential catastrophe was averted as the collapse occurred shortly before lunch break when numerous employees would have been in the facility attending to their cars.
@RedPortiaOne .. they say the dead weight of an extra layer of asphalt, laid some years ago, contributed to the collapse. However the crane operator had been on that level before without any incident. I would think, in my layman’s point of view, the high heat and humidity (both night and day) for almost a week straight played a major role on that old garage. It was built in 1948 when elevated-platform machinery, as it is today (compact and heavy), was not yet in existence.
I saw this on Fox 2 news, its pretty major disaster. Why did the ground collapse like that?
.. only a top deck with one level underground
How tall was this garage before it fell?
