This doesn't look good. It appears a couple of steel beams supporting the roof have shifted.

Construction has been shut down on a section of the new terminal at Indianapolis International Airport while engineers investigate what caused two structural steel beams to shift, a spokesman said.

Construction workers heard a loud "thump" shortly after 2 p.m. Wednesday and looked up to see that two horizontal beams that support the roof had moved, said David Dawson, a spokesman for the project.

I hope this doesn't compare to the library project problem. I hope its nothing more than a busted weld or something.

Same here. They seem to have made some pretty good progress thus far.

Here is a video report about the beam replacement. Best part is that you get a good video of the construction progress. The place looks really nice.
