The accident occurred around 3:00 AM on November 17, 1981, during the construction of the Manila Film Center. The scaffolding collapsed, and at least 169 workers fell and were buried alive under quick drying wet cement. A blanket of security was immediately imposed by the Marcos administration, and neither rescuers nor ambulances were permitted on the site until an official statement had been prepared. The rescuers were eventually permitted to go inside the incident site 9 hours after the collapse.

In the late '90s, a group called Spirit Questors began to make a visit to the film center in an attempt to contact and appease the souls of the workmen who were killed in the building. Some of the spirits claimed to have moved on, but a few allegedly remain.
