    Worker plunges 7 stories By Joe Hughes
    'I heard this loud crashing sound and then saw the scaffolding falling down the side of the building,' said Daniel Gomez, who was working on another portion of the building. 'I knew guys were up there when it happened.'

    Officials did not know how many workers were on the scaffolding at the time.

    'Our first concern was finding trapped workers,' Jondall said. 'We sent units from the ground floor and the rooftop, in each direction through the stairwells.'

    Investigations into the accident are under way. Some workers suggested the scaffolding may have been overloaded with materials.
