Sott, please...
hanger - a curved piece of wire, wood, or plastic on which clothes are hung while they are being stored
hangar - a large building in which aircraft are kept
Though I admit a collapsing hanger injuring several workers would be a lot more interesting.
(Of course, as usual, the original headline actually said "hangar"...)
