Eight Die In Indianapolis Building Collapse At Prest-Q-Lite Site
Eight workmen died and possibly more may perish after a concrete building under construction for Prest-Q-Lite collapsed in Indianapolis. Rescuers, aided by searchlights, recovered bodies as investigators hypothesized the failure stemmed from concrete not setting properly in cold weather. Judge Markey ordered a halt to reinforced concrete work pending inquiry. Building Inspector Winterrowd testified the four story overrun may have collapsed due to overload and premature removal of wooden forms.
