Three workers were killed and two were injured when a section of scaffolding collapsed early Tuesday at a liquefied natural gas plant that Sempra is building in Texas.
The two survivors at the Port Arthur LNG project were rescued from the top of the structure after it gave way at about 2 a.m. local time, according to Captain Crystal Holmes of the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office. The other three fell several stories and died.
