Any one involved with structural Collapse investigations will want to keep an eye on the incident that happened this afternon in Pittsburgh Pa.
The recently built Visitors and convention Ceter at 10th and Penn Aves. had its main floor collapse and a cherry picker fell thru the hole and a small tractor trailer delivering rug for the center is now stuck on the main disply floor stratling the hole. Luckily no one got hurt but I am sure there is going to be lots of investigation into the matter as the building had an earlier collapse while being built which killed an iron worker. www.kdka.com www.wpxi.com www.thepittsburghchannel.com local news websites with info
