3 men were killed after a scaffold fell several stories while the victims were on it. The 3 victims were on the 8th level of an apartment building at an estimated 70 feet high. The men were on a scaffold doing construction work on the unfinished apartment building.

Out of no where the scaffold failed and collapsed. The scaffold came crashing down to the ground from the 8th level. The victims had nothing to grab onto as the scaffold they were on quickly pummeled to the ground.

Jose, Gilberto, and the 3rd victim died immediately. Video shows the tragic encounter.

2 more construction workers were hurt and taken to the hospital, but those 2 survived. 

Gilberto was from Mexico, he was set to retire soon.
