One Philadelphia man is thanking God for putting him in the right place at the right time after he pulled an elderly couple from a collapsed building in West Kensington.

David Velazquez was driving with his cousin Kathy to pick up his son from a friend’s house on the night of Sept. 2. They were near the intersection of North Front and Dauphin Streets when, at around 10 p.m., Kathy heard a crumbling sound.
