Two hurt when roof of Hoover West School addition collapses By Stephanie Gehring
William Melhorn, a laborer for the masons on the project, said he was going up a ladder at the time of the collapse.
'I heard cracking and popping,' Melhorn said. 'I looked up and saw all the trusses just fall.'
Melhorn said the man with the leg injury was pinned in by some of the trusses and coworkers had to lift them up so the man could free himself.
'He took it really good,' Melhorn said.
Work to resume at Waterfront condo BY DAVID HACKETT
An investigation is continuing into the death last week of a construction supervisor.
Work will resume today on the nine-story Waterfront on Venice Island condominiums, nearly a week after a 44-year-old construction supervisor fell to his death from the eighth floor.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is continuing its investigation into the accident, caused when anchors holding two cables came loose from a support wall, sending William Molinaro falling to his death, police said.
The cables were designed to support 200 pounds, according to Waterfront developer Mike Miller. Molinaro weighed about 220 pounds, family members said.------------------------------------------- posted 8:56 PM :: reference link ::
