3 dead, 2 injured in scaffolding failure. Hopefully no one from Houston was on site for that.

Only one accident.

I read that one of the cranes either dropped a load or the shiv block and line slipped and hit the scaffolding. If that's the case then it is more understandable than just a failure in the scaffolding itself.
