Yikes! Dang that looks nasty. I hope there wasn't any fatalities or injuries.

Looks a like a progressive collapse from the top down. It doesn’t look like a crane triggered the collapse.

Guessing shoring failure but who knows at this point.

I didn’t see anything hit it. I saw a crane tower fall when the building started to go

Looked like a movie when you see people running from buildings falling. Thankfully it didn’t look like any of them got hit

Would be interested to know what was going on when the collapse happened.

Not sure if they were pouring or loading the structure with material.

It seems more workers would be hurt if there were lots of people working at the time.

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.


2 or 3 times a week and the Saenger?!? Sounds like it could have been you trapped under the debris. You’re lucky to be alive!
