What this ------- NO BLOOD, sheesh, I was looking forward to see a fair bit of Indian blood, they got plenty of 'em so could spare a few, eh. :-)
What a heartless thing to say!

I agree with rgsparber !!!!
That is a horrible thing to say. Why would you say something like that? Have you ever had an accident?
Nothing even resembling empathy. Some folks are a total waste of breathable air, and I'm not talking about the folks involved in the accident.Quote:

If they had kept on taking several sheets at a time off of them, they would have had them out much more quickly. And what's going on with the two on the table? Was the trapped guy hurt, or is the guy carrying him around just grateful he wasn't hurt (or worse)? At least, it wasn't a mirror factory, though.
Why were they bringing the panes together in the first place...
I have a pile of sheet goods in my shop, all sorts of plywood, & a friend of mine & I were working on something & he was going through the pile by himself to get to the plywood we need & he let it push back a little too far & was trapped between the plywood & the column behind him. I went & grabbed my camera before I flipped enough sheets off him so he could push the rest back up. That was rude but there was no way I was going to miss that shot.
I hope no one was seriously injured but I bet the skinniest guy was glad for his thickness! And why didn't they flip a few sheets at a time quickly then move the larger stack when it was easily manageable? It would have made the stack lighter more quickly creating less injury and gotten them out much more quickly. Panic and adrenaline can really drop people's intelligence.
It looks like one guy was, at least, not able to move when the plates were lifted off. He was first placed on the table and then carried out the door. My guess is that he was not breathing.
It is impossible to know what these guys were thinking. Maybe they underestimated the weight of the glass. Maybe their boss told them to do it or be fired. Given the final number of men it took to lift the stack off of them, I’d say they didn’t have a chance. It is likely that any of these guys there were hurt were then fired since they couldn’t work.

seen the same scenario... once panic sets in... you will not be thinking straight... looks like everybody in the video panicked.Quote:
