Garage collpase in San Antonio

On February 14 a six-story parking garage being constructed at the University Hospital in San Antonio collapsed, injuring 2 workers, one critically.   Workers reported hearing rumbling, and then air horns prompted the evacuation of 120 construction employees.  The collapse brought down 1,500 tons of concrete and steel into a two-story pile of rubble. “We heard a big old bang and then looked across the street and saw beams coming down and clouds of smoke,” said Laura Moreno, an employee at Wheelchairs Plus, which faces the garage. “The workers were all running away from the building. It was a scary sight.”
