they are building an office building next to us and we are doing the parking garage. (actually you can see it in the backround of the picture in this article)
watched them from when the first ambulance pulled in until they loaded him into the bus. they shut down both work sites and we wont be errecting anything tomorrow either. its ashame rumor has it he just got married in the past 2 weeks.
rumor has it… remember this is just thru the grape vine at work. his harness got cought in the winch cable and basically squeezed him to death. they were performing CPR on his way down from the top floor in the lift but they were up there for a good 15-20 minutes bfore they broght him down to the ground.
yup it was the kid i knew when i was younger. i played little league with him and he went to my church. he grew up in south oakland, that job site was a stones throw from where he grew up. i knew his sister too.
