Bridge collapse investigated
Times Wire Reports
Investigators were working to determine what caused a pedestrian bridge being built high above an Atlanta park to collapse, killing one man and leaving 11 of his co-workers hospitalized, seven in intensive care.
Contractors were pouring concrete on the “canopy walk” at the Atlanta Botanical Garden when it crumbled Friday morning, dropping workers up to 40 feet to the forest below.
The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating.
