I think hefty fines are in order.
Construction shortcuts and stupidity shouldn't go unpunished.

This happened a number of years ago on the same property. Problems like this are generally avoidable if we simply slow down "measure twice and cut once." Or, in other words "THOSE WHO DON'T LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT". History has its place.

fighting and observer:
have either of you ever driven a grad-all? Have either of you done any construction work? Have either of you ever managed construction?
I have and I find it hilarious when people like you talk about construction and how to do it. You haven't a clue.

I have worked construction.
It entails a little bit more than just being able to operate a piece of equipment.
YOU have no clue about safety and operations. Hope OSHA stops by there more frequently before more serious incidents.

Fighting:
I have no clue about safety? Really? I have a 30 Hour OSHA certification along with twenty seven years in construction, 25 of those years supervising and managing it. I'll put that up against whatever experience you have.
I wasn't suggesting that simply operating a piece of equipment gave me expertise. the above does. Again, you don't know what you're talking about.
