The families of two construction workers killed in the collapse of a hangar in Idaho earlier this year have sued the contractors who were building it. 

Workers of Big D Builders were assembling the framework of the 39,000-sq-ft structure at the Jackson Jet Center at Boise Air Terminal/Gowen Field (KBOI) when it collapsed in high winds on January 31, killing the two workers who—according to the lawsuit—were sent by the contractor from another site because the project was behind schedule. Also killed in the disaster was the construction company’s co-owner.
