Is this where the Ercoupe is awaiting restoration? SUITLAND, Md. (WUSA/Prince George's Fire and EMS) -- Prince Georges County Firefighters have responded to several reports of roof collapses since Tuesday. Some of these collapses involved detached structures like carports and sheds.
On other calls, residents noticed unusual sounds or cracks in walls and firefighters investigated any potential for collapse. Fortunately, no one has been injured in any of the collapses reported so far Wednesday. The most serious damage from a roof collapse occurred at the Smithsonian Museum Support Center at 3904 Old Silver Hill Road. This large warehouse facility is the Smithsonian's primary off-site storage facility of artifacts. Firefighters responded at 6:49 AM to investigate the collapse and shut off electricity and natural gas to the warehouse eliminating any consequences involving those utilities. It is unknown what, if any, artifacts are affected by this roof collapse. http://www.wusa9.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=96991&catid=158 Doesn't look as bad as the collapse at Dulles though - http://www.aopa.org/aircraft/articles/2010/100211dulles.html Click through the slide show. A few exec jets mangled for good I think! Mike ________________ Alon A2 A-188 G-HARY www.ercoupe.co.uk
