Somebody is having a really bad day right now - luckily no one was injured.

I get the feeling that the occupants of an old factory like that get kind of comfortable and push the load to the limit and beyond.

We've found people who weren't meant to be where they were found... They still died there. On on particular job in Fiji the employer assured us no one was hurt. Two found burried during the removal of materials.
The US may not be Fiji, but nor can you *know* what is under that salt. Then again it may already have been cleaned up, but I doubt it.

I noticed from the photos that this happened on a clear day. Morton's new slogan should be, "Even when it doesn't rain, it pours."
