Three workers were killed when a stairwell collapsed. The fire department said one injured worker was taken to a hospital and was listed in stable condition. Firefighters were waiting for engineers to confirm the building was stable. It could be several days before their bodies are recovered. Anytime there's a primary collapse, our concern is a second collapse. That's why we're not permitting any other rescuers until we can confirm the stability of the structure. | They were tapping into the sewer line to connect it into one of the parcels for one of the homes, and unfortunately, that's when the collapse happened. Two workers were buried in the trench, which was about 8 feet deep. Their fellow workers tried to rescue the men, but couldn't get to them. Unfortunately there was just too much dirt. Crews are working to recover the bodies, but it could take hours. |
