At 2pm on Sunday June 21st a building on Myrtle Avenue housing two ITP alums collapsed with little warning. The distinguished alumni Anh Nguyen[1] and Andrew Schneider[2] survived the collapse but lost everything in their apartment. At last notice Anh was sifting through rubble and Andrew was flying back from Los Angeles.

In addition these two guys basically have to piece back together alot of their work (if that's even possible) anyone out there who has pictures, video or files they have done in collaboration, obviously it would be great to help them get these back together again.
Please feel free to add to this or change as you see fit.
