  1. Was this a union job site????? Normally this happens in none union job sites

  2. I'm hearing that their hydromobile collapsed from having too much weight in it. RIP to all the fallen bricklayers out there 🕊️

  3. This is heartbreaking 😢sorry for my Latino community 😢😮mis condolencias a los familiare 😢❤

  4. Man people gunna be gettin sued

  5. look on the bright side everyone now looks like 3 jobs that you can ap for now

  6. Well, that can happen with jobs like this, though I'm sure the families are already chompping at the bit for their share of the lawsuit money that will roll in.

  7. Never did like the undefined Competent person inspection rule

  8. 🧡🙏prayers for families of workers killed.

  9. Where was the Safety policies? Where was OHSA, Where was the safety lanyards? SAD

  10. I'm so glad I'm educated and not have to do this kind of work!

  11. Red states can’t even do scaffolding correctly. Let’s just get rid of all regulations 😀

  12. Totally different construction than building codes of the past. That shabby construction is going up everywhere. I looked at some just a few days ago and wondered when there would be collapse.

  13. Not sure but North Carolina my state has been doing a lot of construction lately including re pavement on roads which makes sense since taxes increased a lot this decade. When you compare roads against South Carolina you can see how cleaner it is in NC than South Carolina or West Virginia for example

  14. At least they didn't have to work all day first. RIP
