We are committed to working with OSHA and others to determine exactly why the structure failed and collapsed. We appreciate the time and understanding as we work with investigators as well as tend to our loved ones as we try to process this tragedy. We want to thank our community's first responders who moved quickly into action to help our team on Wednesday evening. We are grateful to you for your expertise and service to our communities."
