It does not surprise me that he was blown off. What DOES surprise me is that he was not fired the next day.New York is fucked up. Is anyone connecting the dots out there??? Hello???Bear SternsSpitzerGiulianiCraneMortgage backed securitiesClintonBill of Fox New…The culture here is corrupt and needs independent federal oversight. I am thinking something like the Reconstruction.Shit… I’ve been listening to too much Sigur Ros.But, I am pretty sure this country is a lot better off if it just stops funneling its money through NYC and DC. A large segment of the population in those two cities simply feed off the cash flow. Why send it? Keep it for yourselves.Most of these folks can pretty much be replaced by a decent set of algorithms.

Interesting story but I disagree with them saying the city is mostly to blame. What about the construction company? They own the equipment and should use it properly. The city only inspects. Both are at fault. And what about the crane operator? If I did that for a living, I would be sure to check proper construction before climbing up there.

Or George W. They are both smug looking to me.

It’s called a microcosm. The people killed in the crane collapse are just as dead as those killed in Iraq.

So, was bracing as described in this article actually against code, or was it just against the complainant’s own standard of safety?You would think the article would mention that.

The guy saying “if they’d built more braces this wouldn’t happen” reminded me of Futurama talking about the fuel tanker leaking: “If only they’d built it with 6001 hulls! When will they learn?”Ultimately it was an unlucky piece of steel falling that caused the accident. More bracing could’ve prevented it but ultimately inspectors have to draw a line somewhere when it comes to what’s classified as acceptable or not.

Was that the same guy that warned the government about 9/11?

They’re both to blame - once the complaint was filed to the city, they should’ve gotten on it. The entire purpose of government is to enforce the law and maintain order and public safety.This man clearly complained that safety was being ignored - and given the type of safety concern, it should’ve been handled quickly. The city had more than a week to check on the thing, which I do believe is plenty of time to at least get someone out there for an hour and actually DO an inspection. If a former contractor is telling you something isn’t safe, they aren’t jerking you around.Granted, the construction company shoulders the heft of the blame, but very clearly the city failed its (now deceased) constituents and workers by failing to come down hard on people who screw around.
