http://www.wgal.com/news/susquehanna-valley/lancaster/roof-collapses-at-wgals-lancaster-studio/24491112LANCASTER, Pa. —A portion of the roof collapsed at WGAL's Lancaster studio this afternoon, forcing an evacuation.
Around 3:20 p.m. employees in the newsroom heard what was described as a "thunderous boom." A portion of the roof in an adjacent studio that is no longer in use had collapsed.
Staff called the fire department who responded and inspected the damage. Around 4 p.m., fire officials ordered about 100 people to evacuate.
Further inspection revealed that a concrete suport beam and slab had shifted and dropped. As a result the entire roof of the building had been compromised.
