One of the most corrupt builds ever committed. The guy heading it collapsed the last building he owned. No union people were allowed on that project. The city knew what was going on the entire time.
@@MrE-y7v they are however not afraid of calling out employer BS when they see it, and I bet there were a lot of things wrong with that jobsite before this happened. You don't usually just have one big huge failure like this. Whenever these things get uncovered, they always find a long string of sketchy things in the company's history.
He's talking about the incompetent rat non-union workers and contractors. They are notorious for it. In contrast, every trade union has multiple years long apprenticeship programs (maybe not the laborer's, I don't know) that produce top-notch knowledgeable journeyman.
I like how late in the day you post this, almost like you didnt want people to find it. Sue the city, sue the company, and sue the mayor for allowing all the fraudulent permits to be passed around like candy for years.
Lord zoth, I knew many people in construction in Orleans Parish and that was always money being put under the table so they would get that permit passed but something like this as you said should go all the way to the top of the New Orleans city council and everyone below involved in construction approval. A lot of these people got their jobs because their Uncle Joe new somebody so they don't know crap about what they're doing for the most part. Things are a lot different than they were 40 years ago when I had part-time jobs while I was in college in construction. From the mayor all the way down you have no integrity whereas 30 to 40 years ago you still had some integrity like under mayor Victor s c h i r o. New Orleans is still one of the most unique cities in the world but corruption and the safe City thing has all taken place while the few locals that are left still live the way we used to
You can add to the problem the fact that the city had and still does mostly transients living and working in New Orleans so they are much different from when the locals were involved as far as corruption there was always corruption but not like this
I was walking into the Saenger one day, and noticed metal detectors, so I turned around and hid my dugout under some of the Hard Rock rubble. And it was still there after the show!!! Lucky.
What is most infuriating about this whole thing is the fact that no one will be held accountable for this. There is no justice in New Orleans. This city is a joke.
Where on earth do you see a person being killed? They probably didn’t blur it because you would really have to look and know exactly what you’re looking for.
Yea, but see the guy way behind at 2:27. Cleared the collapse the stopped to look back at it before taking off again? Never stop running. You don’t know how close you are to dying.
The weight of the concrete slab poured on that floor plus the weight of equipment and materials outweighed the capacity max that the steel support beams, columns, and joists could hold.
I'm seeing this for the first time because I left New Orleans in 2013 for work. Previously from the '70s through the mid-90s I was a design engineer and I can tell you this should never have been approved Plus why wasn't there a good supervisor or a safety man on the job? I guess contractors and insurance companies will lose a lot of money over this. I was in the field before I got my degree and I would not have been up there working as it's common sense to look at the supports and the metal on the top running different ways? Looks like they were hundreds of negligent mistakes made or were they possibly running out of money? We do live in a totally corrupt Society
But Nobody Noticed THE GUY That's LITERALLY STANDING Right Beside THE Heavy Material that collapsed. Don't Believe me Watch it at 2:27 , You can CLEARLY SEE A GUY STANDING THEIR AND THEN GO DOWN WITH THE BUILDING Rip to everyone lost.. praying.
Back it up one more time..... Seriously. The guy walking down the steps inside the yellow crane is lucky it didn't fall over.. you can see him coming down then it starts to collapse and he speeds up. Also, the guy that's standing in front of that black framing in front of the yellow crane looks like he was waiting for that guy to get out but he runs away at the last second. Looks like a movie. The floor is collapsing right behind his feet as he runs..Crazy....
Yeah all the engineering in the world can't save people from pure negligence. Wonder how far behind schedule it was?? Must have been a good bit for the contractor to immediately load that roof up with all that equipment. 7 days in curing time for something like that is basically like saying the next day. Even if they put in accelerators, it's plain stupid.
I promise you there was plenty of signs I know nothing about this story but I guarantee you there was probably a lot of water leaking places probably a lot of concrete cracken and probably a lot of places to haveir word new chunks like small chunks of concrete come up with the doors don't close right things like that it didn't just happen. I wouldn't be surprised they were sagging on some floors It didn't just happen there's probably a lot of random noises but they may have been difficult to determine during broad daylight but I'm sure one of them is you know at night you know depends on what kind of loud music I don't know what that place was like
An engineer designs it, a construction firm executes the design. If one of them did wrong they should be punished as they would in europe. Whats is going on in the states, people get jailed for nothing a long time but not for this? 3 lives!
I don't care if they closed & had tight SECURITY there. I'm not gonna let my fathers body lay there. U can help me or get out my way. My father wouldnt lay there for months. Naw. F*** that. Btw my father doesnt EVEN like me.
I am a STRUCTURAL IRONWORKER by trade out of Baton Rouge Local 623. My father's body would not stay up there for a year I don't care what they say I would go and get it at night I am not leaving him. Hes my dad. Its MY DUTY. AFTER EVERYTHING HES DONE FOR ME. IF I DIDNT GRT HIM DOWN & PEOPLE HAD PHOTOS. .OMG. WE R NOT GOIN THERE. NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WILL MAKE ME NOT WANT TO STOMP THEIR ASS
When a building COLLAPSES like that is it supposed to do so at FREE FALL SPEED and directly in its own FOOTPRINT ... you know, just like that day when BOTH World Trade Towers did as well as BUILDING 7 🤔
They also overloaded the top floor with staging I would by about 3 times in capacity. That is why the front half of the building collapses and not the rear half. Who was the engineers , site safety inspections and also the concrete company and their site engineers. Even the crane must realize they are overloading that floor with staging. There wasn't near enough shores under it also. Very lucky only 3 people lost there life's here it could have been 50-100 or more for a building that size

My father's body not sit up there for one year. You could get out of my way or you gonna arrest me for it. when I get out im comin back & I'm gonna get him down. and I'm gonna get it him arresting anything when I get out I'm gonna come back but I'm gonna get it there
