This Iowa building collapse story is horrifying. There has to be accountability for this. Great work by the Quad City Times reporters who tracked down the contractor who feared the collapse would happen.

And some city officials too. They were well within their powers to evacuate and shut it down to avoid the imminent danger of collapse.
