Below is the latest information we have on the building under construction that collapsed Wednesday at the Boise Airport.
Three people died at the scene, the Boise Fire Department said Wednesday night. Nine more were injured. Of those, five were in critical condition. The Ada County Coroner’s Office is expected to identify the three people who died once their families have been notified. The city says it won’t provide updates on the injured.
The structure and a crane collapsed adjacent to the Jackson Jet Center, according to Boise Fire. The hangar construction site is on Boise Airport’s property near Rickenbacker and Luke streets. The hangar was being built for the Jackson Jet Center.
An “incredibly large” number of emergency responders assisted during the incident, including units from all over the Treasure Valley, Boise Fire Division Chief of Operations Aaron Hummel said in a news release Thursday. The Boise Airport wasn’t affected.
