I meant to post this last month when it happened but I forgot. This building is a couple miles away from me. Quite a mess! We had over 20" of snow a couple weeks earlier. The collapsed section was on the downslope side over a parking area. I think the upper section being heated melted the snow which froze over the lower end over the unheated section and overloaded the structure. Someone f'd up big time.

I love these green roofs, first read about them in a Roofing Mag about 10 years ago. They are quite prominent in Europe, not so common here in the US. Beautiful just the same. Shame this one failed. I can only imagine the homework that needs to be done designing such a roof. PC
