Houston, major scaffolding collapse 10/16

[Bulldog]

A major scaffolding class has just occurred in Houston.  The scaffolding was almost a full city block long and was being used to allow for the application of a brick fa?ade to a new building under construction.  At least 5 workers have been injured and taken to hospitals and searches are still ongoing for others that are possibly missing.

You're talking about 7 stories of scaffolding. Not sure what type of a response that would be for the HFD, the City of Houston is listing this on their site as a "1 alarm" with the following units:

D008,  RE042,  E009,  E008,  SF024,  HR011,  SR033,  HMSR022,  SC037,  A012,  L018
