That's painful.
Are hangars more vulnerable to snow and wind than other buildings due to big roofs with no supporting posts in the middle?
I would hope the city would pay up.
Is that covered by the airport or individual insurance?

That's why I just had to revise my insurance to make the airport authority the certificate holder on the policy, basically I'm buying insurance for them. These new hangar leases kinda suck.
Or Mother Nature or God...I hear they have deep pockets. Why is it always someone else's fault? This is why we buy insurance and have choices on where to keep an airplane.
I was under the impression the Airport wants to be named so they can make a claim should you cause damage to their hangar. (Or others..)
I know that my rental hangar doesn't cover personal property inside it and I doubt the airport would be liable, but that could vary from airport to airport. Insurance should cover it no problem.
And that's got to be some heavy, heavy snow. Not something I'm used to in Colorado.

I should have added these two hangars were about 80 years old. All wood framing.Or poorly maintained/built hangars.
I buy insurance for MY F' ups, not yours.
We get a ton of snow in my neck of the woods and that crap doesn't happen.
It's not always someone's fault, unless it is. You change good money for a hangar, you don't maintain the hangar, rickety hangar smashes planes, pay up.
If I took someone up for a scenic in my plane, I had crap mx on the plane, plane took and dump and someone got hurt, I'd expect to see a bill.

Yup.. it is a simple conclusion of excess span and NO posts carrying the load....
Still, sad to see good planes destroyed like that....
Nope. This is why good architects and structural engineers earn their living. Cheap out on design and construction and this sort of damage is inevitable.
Full agreement here...
