[TexasTowelie]

Several people have been injured after scaffolding collapsed Friday morning at an unfinished building in downtown Houston.

The incident happened about 11:10 a.m. at 500 Crawford near Congress at a building under construction across the street from Minute Maid Park.

"All I heard was a thud and that's when the scaffolding fell. I rushed toward the window to see what was happening and everything was falling apart," said Eric Valdez, an 18-year-old plumber who was working inside the building along with his father and a friend named Juan. His father had made it out of the construction safely, but he was unsure about his friend.

"It was pretty bad. I'm just blessed that I get to see another day."

The old joke goes something like:

I used to work at a bread factory, they fired me for loafing off!

I used to work at an orange juice factory, they fired me because I couldn't concentrate!
