Death should never be a risk wen your jus trynna provide for your family man rest in peace smh

[lexismith]

Construction work has always been very dangerous. We need more protection for our construction workers. All tools must be checked and another person must be present at all times. This tragedy could have easily been avoided. R.I.P

Trust me. As a homeless guy myself:

Cold water and Hypothermia are no joke.

[blacknineentertainment]

They let that man stay underwater for an hour 😠

[trustme]

This would of never happened if the system never brainwashed us into thinking having a job is the way to live

[jihaadgarrett]

So he didn’t drown because he was in side the cab but he froze to death inside the cab ?

[stevemanson]

He was alive unresponsive but died...
Wtf

[wailnshred]

My condolences to his family. May he rest in peace.

Why does it take six months to investigate an incident where all the witnesses will voluntarily talk to you? So govt employees can get paid to do nothing.

[jenniferw]

Prayers to family and friends of this hardworking man.

There are often two reasons cranes topple, the base they are sitting on is not a sure level location and weight imbalance.

I works on a bridge construction site last year where the crane operator was almost eighty and drooled while working the crane. Absolutely terrifying.

It is dangerous work. There is little Union organizing, the use of illegal immigrants, escape from safety rules. This is what you get.

[darrylnelson]

Damn! He had minutes not hours after he fell in that water.

[MyNoob]

Individual was under water for more than an hour, he was alive but

[vercingetorix]

Thee fatal death as opposed to the other kind of death.

I’m glad the MSM is back to reporting news now after Trump is out office. I was getting Tired of them hating trump and bashing him for the past 8 months.

[mosywilliams]

Bullcrap, he could have been a nonbeneficiary of the dreaded work schedule and been in his home. Unfortunately, now he's dead. The. goverment needs to increase the minimum wage and reduce the number of days worked in a week. Would result in a decrease of BS happenings as this.
