Afternoon there was a scaffolding collapse. There were three workers on that scaffolding. Two of them jumped to safety. One of them unfortunately was crushed by that scaffolding. I want you to take a look at the gray building. Part of the scaffolding is still up. Its about 20 feet high. We actually spoke to a worker who witnessed the fall. He says it fell very slowly as you can imagine he tells us it was horrifying to see his fellow workers fall from such a height. He does say harnesses on them. He says he has been working on this construction site for the past four months and to him its always been very safe. He also was actually on that scaffolding and he says that he never felt that there was any trouble. Osha is expected to come out here on the scene. Theyre with the Occupational Safety health administration. Those investigators will be here shortly. And they will have more information in to the scaffolding accident. Thats the latest here at tivoli. Gerard thank you for the update.
