The article does not say three structures collapsed. Maybe it was updated from the initial call which described it as a crane collapse? The cranes have not collapsed. I can see them from my bedroom window. Word in the 'hood is that nobody was seriously injured from anything falling. Ironically, apparently the crew was conducting a safety meeting below the crane swings when they collided. The injuries were the result of panic in reaction to the collision overhead. At one point, it was reported that EMS was attempting to rescue the crane operator in the cab. The KXAN article now says that he is remaining in the cab with his foot on the brake to prevent the crane from collapsing until the crane company can respond to untangle the two cranes.
