Atlanta nature facility re-opens following collapse

Federal investigators will be on the scene again this morning at the Atlanta Botanical Garden still looking for answers as to what caused the collapse of a pedestrian walkway Friday morning. The bridge was still under construction, and was about to mark a milestone in the project when it collapsed, killing one worker and sending 18 to the hospital. As of Sunday, 10 workers remained hospitalized. The Botanical Garden re-opens to visitors later this morning--officials say proceeds until the end of the year will be reserved in a fund for victims’ families.
