Less than a block from our hotel. At least 8 injured. Saw multiple EMS running code 3.

Looks like a crane collapsed or lost a load that hit the building.
eta: maybe not. |

Our room is on the opposite side, so we didn't hear a thing. Just walked out to see it being roped off.

Bad day all around. Saw a gymnasium at a school collapse when they were setting steel. |

It looks like there was an object just to the left of the street lights that may have caused part of the collapse, it comes down with the floors right where it begins to fail.

The collapse started at the further end of the building before the beginning of the video. There's debris dust at the further end of the building at the very start of the video.

Wow. One confirmed fatality 3 missing. Thank God it happened on a Saturday otherwise I believe that body count would have gone way up.

My younger brother still lives there. He said they had some pretty bad weather last night with high winds and that started it. The workers building it also attribute the high winds as the catalyst.
