TECO power plant retiree describes dangers

A day after two were killed, and four others seriously injured, in an industrial work accident at TECO's Big Bend Power Plant, we asked a former TECO employee what makes working at the power plant so dangerous.

What killed those people??? Negligence. That's what. And money, greed. Disgusting.

They tried to save millions and forced these men to literally give their lives, it cost them more by trying to be lazy hoping they’d save money, that one kid Antonio was making 12 bucks an hour! He burned alive in that lava and made an attempt to call his mom leaving a message saying he was burning to get help! He was expecting a baby with his first love, this is incredibly sad and those people in charge are disgusting!!! To hell with them all, memory eternal to all 5 of those men.

“It’s a very dangerous, safe place”. Just wow

I feel like TECO either paid this guy to lie, or he was just that uneducated to say that TECO care about safety.

[asausie]

How much did TECO pay him to say that?

[thamadtroll]

That retirement check got him talking shit

Power plants in Florida definitely is dangerous, I worked in Big Ben and other places, you always gotta be on your Ps and Qs when working in these plants

Not trying to be "Debbie Downer", but I'm wondering if that walker came out of the closet and got dusted off just for the news crew? He seemed very healthy and muscular to have been out of work and "disabled" for four years. Just saying'. And, it looks like he's been doing some painting, too, unless those are some really old pants, but that looks like fresh paint. 😲
