RE: Building Collapse
Cold storage envelopes are mostly just that, and do not attempt to support the internal product loads.
It may be that, in this case, the product load exceeded the rating of the product supports, and upon failure a cascade of product precipitated into mass structural failure of the outer wall which could not contain the load.
Cold storage environment, an isolated area, minimal supervision, overloaded conditions..simply a bad connnection. You can speculate the cause. It is unfortunate that a life was lost.

It's a little early... I've put a call into a couple of our clients that are into insurance (ambulance chaser mode) to see if there has been any info...
With the fatality, it may be a long time before anything of substance is released...
