A worker is trapped underneath a concrete slab after a balcony collapsed at a condominium complex in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, on Friday.
Two workers were on the eighth floor balcony at the Spinnaker Condominiums on 3600 Boardwalk around 2:30 p.m. while a third worker was on the seventh floor balcony below. Officials say the eighth floor balcony then collapsed onto the seventh floor balcony, trapping the worker on the seventh floor underneath the rubble.“I was in the kitchen. I’m getting a cup of coffee and I hear this horrible crash," she said."Loud crash.
“Stabilizing the slabs below to prevent any further collapse," he said."Again we don’t know what caused this collapse to happen so we need to think worst-case scenario, prevent those other floors from collapsing. We’re guessing each floor weighs around 11,000 pounds. So it’s quite a bit of work to stabilize that before we could send our first responders in to conduct a rescue.”
The other two workers on the eighth floor balcony suffered minor injuries. Officials have not revealed the condition of the trapped worker on the seventh floor balcony but said the situation is now a recovery operation.
