Hangar collapse at Dulles International Airport
So much for keeping your $30+ million dollar planes tucked away nice and safe inside from the snow storm. This hangar is just a few years old and is over at the Dulles Jet Center on the GA side.

Yeah. Unreal. That last pic you can really see it, though I can't tell if that I-Beam snapped in the beam or along a weld.

I did hear a weather guy say last night that in Washington DC alone there are 20 million TONS of snow on the ground.

That's crazy! I can't imagine how upset the owners of those planes must be. I am sure that the insurance company will put up a fight and try to find a way out of paying for that.
It's amazing to think that a new hangar would collapse like that. I am curious to know how this will turn out. I feel for all those beautiful planes.
