A letter sent to the customers of a parking deck that collapsed last summer blames a bolt for the accident. David Tyndall, whose company leases spaces in the Centergy parking garage, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that a bolt at a spandrel beam that connects the floor to a column on the fifth floor failed in the June 29 collapse. Tyndall said the bolt was not defective but was being used improperly. Four floors pancaked in the collapse, damaging 35 cars. No one was injured in the incident. The deck has been closed since the collapse, but Tyndall says it should reopen in about a month.
