    My regards to the families of the victims. Does anyone know the Union Local # of the crane operator?

    sounds like that company needs to go back to crane setting 101

    Need to have a serious no BS safety stand down because a lot of money is going to be paid out over this deal. I'm sure a lot of folks got sacked after this deal.
