Most of these "women-owned" construction companies are ran by men who wisely put their business in their wife's name to compete for government contracts.

They have been building on that soil for 300 years.

From the pics I’m getting the top side of the 15 or so story building came down.

Wow. That looks like a real mess in the video.

Good thing they didn’t get to finish it and open it for business.

Looks like outer parts of upper floors. It would help if a good picture was available and not some film from a camera waver.

I would be surprised if no none was killed.

It looks bad.

My sources on the ground say they are trying to account for all the construction workers.

I was disabused of the repeated use of a single adverb in a paragraph by a grade-school teacher.
