An upper section of a hotel under construction in New Orleans partially collapsed on Saturday, Oct. 12, killing three and injuring dozens.
A nonprofit representing the National World War II Museum is working toward a settlement but preparing for a jury trial in its lawsuit against the structural engineer of its $65-million hotel and conference center, under construction in downtown New Orleans.
