Even if it was a crane, that's a crazy amount of damage. Jesus.

a collapsed crane can cause that much damage? Damn.

I drive by there 2-3 times a week. When I-10 headed from the east to the westbank is all jacked up some mornings, I'll take Rampart through downtown to the expressway to cross the bridge to the westbank.

And whenever we go to the Sanger, we always park in that garage that's on the bottom left of those pics.

Damn that is crazy. Hope no one was killed at least, I imagine there were some injuries.

Obviously they will have to tear down the whole top portion, but will this also necessitate that they tear down/rebuild the bottom part, the portion that looks like it did not withstand as much damage? That's going to be damn costly.
