OAKLAND, Calif. – The Latest on a partial building collapse that injured 19 workers in the San Francisco Bay Area (all times local):
2 p.m.
Video shows workers dangling from metal rebar after scaffolding and wet concrete gave way at a building site in the San Francisco Bay Area, injuring at least 19 workers.
Local television station KGO showed video it said was taken Friday by a worker seconds after what appeared to be a second floor at a building site gave way as it was under construction.
The video shows at least three workers in hardhats and orange and yellow vests in the air, clasping jutting metal rods to keep themselves from dropping into the fallen concrete below.
Co-workers brought ladders and scrap wood to climb to reach them, while other workers pulled themselves out of the concrete.
