Armory Balcony Collapse Attracts Coroner Remarks
The coroner warns he cannot order an investigation without a death from the accident. If a death results, he will thoroughly probe the cause and assign responsibility. He questions the railing construction with small screws and inadequate bracing, noting the rail was a band rest and guide rather than a load bearing support. The building appeared to follow architect plans, but the rail joints and fastenings are blamed for potential failure.
