Roof collapses at M&B headquarters facility

摘要

A section of roof collapsed over M&B Hangers' Leeds, Ala., facility May 15, injuring six people and forcing the company to temporarily halt production. Contractors were repairing a column in the facility's storage area that had been hit by a forklift a few weeks prior when the roof began "falling in sections," president and CEO Milton Magnus told the Associated Press. Heavy storms in the area may have further compromised the structure, he added. About one-third of the 100,000-sq.-ft. facility was affected.
