LEEDS, Ala. — A section of roof collapsed over M&B Hangers’ Alabama facility Thursday, injuring six and forcing the company to temporarily halt production.
Contractors were repairing a column in the facility’s storage area that had been hit by a forklift a few weeks prior when the roof began “falling in sections,” president and CEO Milton Magnus told the Associated Press. Heavy storms in recent weeks may have further compromised the structure, he says. About a third of the 100,000-square-foot facility was affected.
