Three workers have been killed and a fourth was injured when the scaffolding on a high-rise building site collapsed in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Three construction workers were killed and another seriously injured late Monday morning when an exterior lift system tore from the side of an office building under construction in downtown Raleigh in North Carolina.
A witness, LeRoy Kelley, said workers were dismantling a "mast climber" on the 11-storey Charter Square building on Fayetteville Street when the elevator-like system collapsed, sending a mobile scaffolding platform to the ground.
Kelley, of Raleigh, was working with concrete under the scaffolding when he heard a popping sound and someone shouting "Run!" As he ran beneath the building, he heard an enormous crash.

Three workers killed in scaffolding collapse in North Carolina
RALEIGH, N.C. Three construction workers were killed and another seriously injured late Monday morning when an exterior lift system tore from the side of an office building under construction in downtown Raleigh.
A witness, LeRoy Kelley, said workers were dismantling a "mast climber" on the 11-story Charter Square building on Fayetteville Street when the elevator-like system collapsed, sending a mobile scaffolding platform to the ground.
Kelley, of Raleigh, was working with concrete under the scaffolding when he heard a popping sound and someone shouting "Run!" As he ran beneath the building, he heard an enormous crash.
Kelley said one worker was in a portable toilet that was crushed by the falling platform. Kelley had just exited the restroom, holding the door open for the next man just moments before the collapse, he said.
Authorities identified the dead workers as Jose Erasmo Hernandez, 41, of Durham; Jose Luis Lopez-Ramirez, 33, of Clinton; and Anderson Almeida, 33, of Durham. The injured worker, who was taken to WakeMed, was Elmer Guevara, 53. Authorities said they were not sure where Guevara lives.
A person who called 911 indicated that some of the workers were aboard the platform when it fell, according to a recording of the call.
Raleigh-based Dominion Realty Partners is developing the 243,000-square-foot building. Choate Construction is the general contractor.
Mike Hampton, Choate's chief operating officer, said a subcontractor, Associated Scaffolding, was in the process of dismantling the mast climbers, which transport crews and materials to different positions on a building's facade.
"Today was the day they were supposed to start dismantling them," Hampton said from Atlanta. "That process had begun. We don't know what happened, but it occurred in the process of dismantling the climbers."
"That's what they do," Hampton said of Associated Scaffolding, which has offices in Durham and Raleigh. "It wasn't a glass company that was doing scaffolding. ... They're a very large company, very well-versed, with a good track record."

Raleigh scaffolding collapse kills 3 construction workers
RALEIGH, N.C. Three construction workers were killed and another seriously injured when a frame that supported a scaffolding system on the outside of a downtown office building collapsed Monday morning.
A witness, LeRoy Kelley, said workers were dismantling the scaffolding frame on the 11-story Charter Square building on Fayetteville Street and were descending the side of the building when something went wrong. Kelley thought at least four workers were on the scaffolding when it hit the ground.
Kelley, of Raleigh, was under the scaffolding doing concrete work when he heard a popping sound and someone shout, "Run!" As he did, he heard an enormous crash.
Kelley said he thought another worker was in a portable toilet that was crushed by the falling platform.
Authorities have not released the names of the dead and injured workers. The injured worker was taken to WakeMed Health & Hospitals.
Wake County EMS spokesman Jeff Hammerstein said authorities don't yet know where the workers were at the time of the accident.
"We don't know where they were or what they were doing," Hammerstein said.
The accident happened shortly before 11 a.m. Police blocked access around Charter Square, which is being built across from the Marriott City Center hotel. Dozens of construction workers were evacuated from the building and were standing on the lawn in front of the Duke Energy Center for the Performing Arts a block south.
A support structure of the scaffolding system failed at the fifth floor and fell into the performing arts center parking lot across Lenoir Street. A piece of the frame pierced the glass wall of the building at the fifth floor and was sticking out of the building.

Growing up, Ricky Brown always liked his neighborhood and his childhood home, a 1978-built Colonial in Edina. He went off to college in Maine but I knew I would come back to live in this area, he said.
Little did he know hed come back to live in the very same house.
He and his wife, Angela, first bought another house, a smaller one in St. Louis Park. But when Angela was pregnant with their second child, Griffin, now age 3, they realized they would soon need more space. And Angela, who works from home, needed a designated office.
Meanwhile, Rickys parents, who had raised four children in their 3,500-square-foot house, were thinking about downsizing. Before long, the Colonial was home to a new generation of Browns.
The sale was emotional selling the family home, said Angela. But at least it went to a member of the family.
Ricky and Angela liked a lot about the home, but they also wanted to make some significant changes.
There was a lot of space, but it wasnt laid out efficiently, Angela said. The kitchen, in particular, last updated in 1991, was awkwardly configured and short on storage.
So the Browns hired Vojovich Design Build after admiring their work on a similar home that was featured in Edina Magazine.
In addition to gutting and reconfiguring the kitchen, the Browns makeover included widening doorways, scraping popcorn ceilings, updating the front hall, closing the wall between the dining room and the kitchen to create an office, and freshening the family room with new lighting and built-ins.
His parents were supportive of the project. They would have remodeled if theyd stayed longer, Ricky said.
