UPDATED: 11:42 a.m. EST October 30, 2003 Construction workers gathered on the street nearby to gaze up at the collapsed frame of the structure.
Alfonso Hernandez, 39, a construction foreman, said he had just walked around the corner to a hardware store and heard the noise. He said all eight members of his crew were accounted for.
"It was like a freight train coming through," Hernandez said. "It's scary. We don't if we lost any of our brothers in there."

I've been watching the video from your story. At first I couldn't see the damaged area but then they panned to the side of the parking lot that collapsed. It looks awful but at least the whole structure didn't collapse, just that one side.
My heart goes out to the people affected by the collapse.

My first thought. Philadelphia and New York mobs although pretty effectively banned from the casinos have a stranglehold on Concrete and Construction in AC.

I wonder if we will find out who the architect was?
and his credentialing history ?
To: millefleur
I wonder if we will find out who the architect was? No doubt we will. A more difficult inquiry will be to decide if someone delivered subpar concrete or skimped on reinforcing rods.

More likely improper construction procedures caused this. not an engineer, and especially an architect.
