Just a guess, as I'm not there to see first hand but the base pads that are welded onto the uprights failed so I'm guessing poor quality overall from the manufacturer or the welding crew on site.
Have worked in the industry , the main beams unzipped like a tin can at the pads the bolts held .. normally good steel would break .. that tore .. prayers for the families
Preengineered buildings are almost people proof; however, you have to wonder if erection plan / process / sequence was followed or if someone substituted approved bolts with non-approved bolts. RIP
Reporter points at a manlift, and calls it a crane, this will be typical of the coverage I'm afraid.
The media's needs educate themselves before shooting their mouths off on equipment on the scene of accidents!
Looks like a cluster F !

Weight with lack of support 😢

"torque moment"
Steel looks thin, anchor bolts failed.
Are the News folk from FOX News?
Super large free span . Maybe to wide . Has this size been made before? Fell down before it was fully erect.
That's exactly what I was thinking. That span looks huge. I swear these engineers these days with their designs get more dumb every job I go to.
