Looks like they were stripping the foundation walls of the froms. I do not see any "collapsed" walls. It looks like they "lost" control of the form boards. Standard form boards are 2' by 8' and 1 and 1/8 inch thick and weigh about 75 pounds each. If they "pop" loose when you are stripping them they can knock all the forms loose on an entire wall at once. That is very bad and would lead to a very strong chance of someone being injured.
Speedy recovery to all who were injured in this.
 @bustedupredneck the strip crew was asked by the framers next door to help them raise a 18' framing wall. The wall was too heavy and fell breaking ones back. This had nothing to do with the foundation panels.
lol...i live 4 houses away from there...I guess i'll get a good look when i get home
Speedy recovery!
I hope they are ok.Â
Whoops! Hope everyone is ok. Not far from where I live!
