Wow. Lots of sirens, firetrucks and ambulances. They've been doing some construction on the building my office is located in. A bunch of the scaffolding just collapsed. There's at least on guy hanging from a safety harness about 7 or 8 stories up. Apparently another guy was carted off in an ambulance; not sure, but it sounds like his harness might not have worked. Kinda freaky.
