According to local reports, eight people involved in demolition work at the former Bethlehem Steel Plant in Sparrows Point, Maryland were injured Monday in after a building collapsed on them. Of the eight, three reportedly have “critical injuries.”

Investigators from the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health could not comment on the ongoing investigation of the collapse. The mill was shuttered in 2012, and in March, a controlled implosion of the Basic Oxygen Furnace shop building caused a loud boom.
