My prayers go out to the victims and their families. I have 2 sons that are Union iron workers and a 1 union carpenter 😢

My deepest condolences 💐 to the family 🙏🏽

Horribly sad. Winds or not, scaffolding should have been secured (enough) or people not working at all. Hope the other worker pulls through.

In any case, both men should have been wearing harnesses.

​@@mariopalos9238 Yes, my husband used to do that kind of work. It is OSHA rules . Sad so, Prayers for the family.

I worked construction for years. I have bern on several jobs involving fatalities, and I never once saw an investigating OSHA inspector. The company didn't stop construction, either.

I'm tired seeing only guys working and dying constructing these buildings. Why aren't there any strong & independent women working on those buildings too?

[@lotusgrl444]

how do you know that women didnt apply and simply not get hired?

[@falynnworld2084]

You sound stupid!
