A building collapse at an Omaha, Nebraska plant killed two workers and injured 17 more.<\/p>\n
The collapse occurred at about 10 a.m. (CST) on January 20, 2014 at the International Nutrition plant in south Omaha, where the company produces animal feed supplements.<\/p>\n
Rescuers rushed to the scene, but they had to move slowly and carefully to avoid inflicting further injury on those trapped as they worked their way through the wreckage. By about 2 p.m., all surviving victims had been extricated from the debris, and firefighters shifted from rescue to recovery mode. Two bodies still lay within the building.<\/p>\n

The body of David Ball, 47, was retrieved from the wreckage the next afternoon.<\/p>\n
