“It sounded like a bomb went off,” said Randy Purkey, who heard the roof of an old factory building used by Anderson Transit System as a school bus garage partially collapse, reported The Herald Bulletin.
Cindy Day, who owns the Indiana-based company, said that six people were working when the roof on the east end of the building caved in.
No employees were injured in the accident, but one bus was heavily damaged by falling debris. The wreck was just visible amid a tangle of broken beams, rafters and shingles inside the garage.
“We just wanted to get the buses out,” Day said.
Day’s father, Robert Hayden, started the company in 1969. They’ve been located in the old factory building since 1980.
