Disturbing reports from workers about structural problems at Boise airport hangar went unnoticed.

Several workers at Boise airport had raised red flags to the police regarding the safety of the hangar before a tragic incident unfolded. The workers reported seeing bending beams, snapped cables, and other structural issues that indicated potential danger.
