Multiple Building Collapses Injure Workers in Connecticut

Workers were pouring 4 million pounds of concrete on a second-floor slab when a building under construction on Lafayette Street in New Haven collapsed, injuring eight. At least two of the injured are in critical condition at Yale New Haven Hospital. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the site, and a stop-work order has been issued to the construction company. The concrete may have pooled faster than workers could smooth it out, causing the collapse.
