Robertson’s Cement Truck Collapses Building

So today we went to the LA Arts District, for the Bloomfest and near the Block around the corner from Urth Cafe, there was a dozen firetrucks, hazmat response teams, firemen, police, etc..  Because a Robertson Cement Truck that probably weighed in a several tons had driven up a ramp that was never designed to carry the load of a cement truck. So the truck collapsed and fell into the ground floor, spilling hundreds of gallons of gasoline.

Watch this video to see it for yourself.

In watching the video you may see that one of the firemen has a cigar in their mouth.  Not lit, but probably not setting a good example for those who are coming by and see this.

Not too mention, you can smell the gasoline fumes hundreds of feet away. So I imagine the diesel/gasoline was all over the area. Probably the area should have been yellow taped to prevent anyone from coming even close to the area with a cigarette.
