caving in

Everything was upside down and moving in slow motion, like the world was caving in.

Speaking in the Commons, Ms Rayner cited it as an example of the Conservatives “caving in to anti-growth backbenchers” and putting "party before country".

“The roof is caving in, the screen is being pulled out and you only have a certain number of times where things can fall apart because they can’t put it back together,” Perea says.

After fighting the blaze for two hours, firefighters determined the structure was in danger of caving in, according to Heggstrom.

The ceiling was caving in, the furniture she had built was damaged, and the speaker system she had installed was shot.
