It sounds as though they were doing some remedial work and got ahead of themselves. There is stuff missing from this story.

"He said the crack was about a 'couple of feet wide' and was getting bigger before crews began stabilizing it."
Did they maybe mean "inches" or is this building really going two different directions?
A photo or two would be handy.

This version of the story has some photos. Pretty nasty crack, and certainly cause for alarm but not "feet" wide - feet tall maybe, and several inches wide.

So if the containment rebar is missing from that column, where else is it missing? What were they working on/with above the column to completely obliterate it. This story is much bigger than we know.

Problem solved, they used DEI temporary shoring system that supports beam all way to the near-midspan crack..........

No column ties?
