Mother recalls terrifying phone conversation as daughter's apartment building collapsed


Workers secure the area Monday, a day after an apartment building partially collapsed in Davenport.

DAVENPORT, Iowa ― Donalda McDuffy wasn’t in the downtown apartment building when a section of it collapsed on Sunday.

Instead, she was on the phone with her daughter, Tatianna Pullman ― who was.

Speaking Tuesday to the Des Moines Register, part of the USA TODAY Network, she said her 22-year-old daughter, a resident of the building, had phoned her in a panic, saying, “Mom, Mom, the building’s falling, the building’s falling.”
