And Cal-OSHA would only get involved if an investigation determines that the collapse resulted from a Title 8 violation by the Contractor. If the collapse resulted from an AOG, i.e., soil subsidence or liquefaction (which has happened) then there is no OSHA violation. But, depending on the Owners' insurance, the resulting property damage might have to be absorbed by the construction contingency.

I was just responding to the people who thought it was inappropriate to make light-hearted jokes about this. We made jokes because no one was hurt so it seemed fairly harmless. Some thought it was inappropriate because, they said, OSHA violations can be serious. My simple response was that most people who have never been around a construction site would just never know about that, so their jokes were not intentionally mean-spirited, just light-hearted. The next step in this process of learning things is you saying that no, OSHA violations are not automatic and often covered by insurance, and anyway it completely depends on what caused this. Which is also news to someone like me.

Either way, very rarely in a forum like this do people make mean-spirited, vicious jokes (well except about coaches and players ). Very seldom do people need heavy rebukes for things like that. Some even got way out of line (though those posts are gone now.)
