Building Collapse in South Dakota
Building Collapse in South Dakota
(OP)
Happened this morning. Two people initially trapped, one rescued along with her dog. A construction worker is still trapped. Supposedly he was pounding earlier but that has since stopped. Building was under construction.

Wonder what caused the collapse? They were replacing architectural elements like ceiling tiles but didn't have structural submitals to do anything structural... With only two people trapped and no deaths there must not have been many people in the building either... No wind, earthquake? Mystery

Anything is a guess at this point, but the longer this goes on the less chance the guy in there will survive. Temps around 30 there today.

I hope they find what caused the building to collapse so whatever mistake was made in South Dakota is repeated somewhere else.
Prayers to his wife and kid. Geesh just terrible.
