Buildings near the collapse were evacuated.
Matt Worges, a student who was on the 23rd floor of the Tulane School of Public Health told the Times-Picayune that the noise drew his attention to the window.
"It looked like the concrete just slid from the top all the way down to the street," Worges said.
