Not sure if there were any 'engineering failures' but perhaps they could have abandoned the job site quicker when they saw the weather turning bad.
21-year-old among 2 dead in storm-related building collapse in Conroe
An excerpt from the above item:
Severe storms sprang up Tuesday afternoon, snapping power lines and tree limbs, and causing a deadly building collapse in Conroe.
The collapse happened at a construction site in Conroe's new Ladera Creek community.
Subcontractors were building a two-story home that has now been flattened. Two men were killed and seven were hurt when it came down.
The collapse happened during a storm that steamrolled its way through the area at about 4 p.m. Relatives told Eyewitness News that the workers noticed the weather was turning bad. They started packing up their tools to leave, but the storm hit hard and fast.
