missed camera opportunity
Earlier today, on my way to the dentist, I passed a new-houses construction site where I saw a fire truck, a fire rescue car, two ambulance rescue vehicles and two ambulances. All at once at the one spot.
I really wished I'd had my camera with me to record it, but after hearing the news just now, perhaps it's better I didn't.
A young apprentice carpenter is now fighting for his life in hospital after a house frame somehow fell on him.
There are ongoing inquiries as to how such a thing could happen.
I hope the young man pulls through.
And I really, really hope, the why and how of this accident is discovered, so it doesn't happen again somewhere else.

Of course if you had a smart phone.....
ReplyDeleteIt could be thought to be in bad taste to film such things, but if you witness something and are not in a position to help and/or others are, then I don't see the harm.
Andrew; I didn't witness anything, just saw six emergency vehicles all grouped together in a side street by a construction site. A smart phone would have been handy...
ReplyDeleteI am praying for complete healing for the young man.
ReplyDeleteTerra Hangen; I don't know who he is, but I feel awful just thinking about how his family must feel right now.
DeleteI too hope he recovers. We had such an accident outside the house years ago; a street rolling machine rolled over in the ditch on top of the driver. I supplied a blanket because he was "so cold." The next day the crew would not tell me how he was and eventually I decided the worse.
ReplyDeleteYears, literally, went by, and a young man, his wife, his six year old daughter were grouped on my drive way. I went to see if I could help; it was the fellow, much crippled, but alive and happy. They came to see "where it happened." I burst into tears, of course, and hugs were exchanged around. He introduced me as the angel with the green blanket.
So, I hope for the best for your young carpenter, too.
Joanne; I hope he recovers with no permanent lasting injuries. I want him to be able to return to work, whole and happy.
DeleteI so hope he recovers!!
ReplyDeletefishducky; we're all hoping the same and I'm thinking of his family too.
DeleteI, too, add my good wishes.
ReplyDeleteThe Cranky; thank you. there may be more on the news service tonight, I'm hoping they'll say he is off the critical list and recovering.
DeleteAnd mine. A young man was killed on a work site here last week. I hope lessons can be learnt and no more lives are lost and families shattered.
ReplyDeleteLove Joanne's story.
Elephant's Child; I feel terrible when people are killed at work sites. All those years of workplace safety training, and things like this still happen. I loved Joanne's story too.
DeleteI to hope he recovers completely.
ReplyDeleteMerle........
Positive thoughts with that young worker. Hope the safety people find the cause and rectify the work process so this type of accident doesn't recur.
