Seems like the police only confirmed 2 dead then retracted that. Only seems like injuries so far. Not as bad as the title makes it seem at all

Ohh yeah, all of your avatars are either horrible or frightening.

If they were purging or doing a "blowdown" like they said they were there should not have been that many people on site.

However I have been on sites in CT with the mechanical contractors "O&G" and they do kinda march to the beat of their own drum.

Heavy Heavy union shop.

There were some serious mistakes made here...the company probably won't survive this.

But in the end people lost their lives and thats the saddest part.


RIP.
