I can't read it,for I've read too many Tuscaloosa News articles without paying.

Hopefully they are ok.

Update

quote:

It's believed that one of the workers is paralyzed and the other has sustained massive head trauma. Both have multiple lacerations all over their bodies and heads and are in critical condition at this time, according to a construction company employee with knowledge of the situation, who spoke to ABC 33/40 on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media.

It appears that the beams we not properly supported during installation, and the welds broke but the investigation is on going, according to the source.
