From the story:

6:10 p.m.

A San Francisco transit official says workers discovered a crack in a steel beam at the city’s celebrated new transit terminal as they installed ceiling panels.

After further inspections, Transbay Joints Power Authority Executive Director Mark Zabaneh says officials decided Tuesday to immediately close the $2.2 billion center.

Zabaneh says the crack is near a weld on a stress-bearing beam. He said he did not know how long the crack was.

Zabaneh says inspectors will be working at the building throughout the night to assess whether it is safe for people to return. He does not believe the problem is related to a sinking condominium building next door.

The center opened in August after nearly a decade of construction. Zabaneh said American steel was used for its construction.

Union slavery state steel is prob just as bad as China steel. I have observed union workers during my limited travel.. i am sure there are exceptions, but they didnt impress me a quality producers.
