We have just had a major accident on site this morning. 1 of our air conditioning unit that was being craned into position slipped from the slings and fell from the 10th floor hitting a scaffold on the 5th floor before falling onto the street below where it hit a member of the public causing her broken limbs and a head injury she has been taken to hospital and we await more news.The whole site has been closed and the whole of York road is closed.

Firstly. Hope she is ok.
Secondly. Hope you're not in any way responsible / liable for it.

Anything to do with it being a cooler? That was one. I was also going to ask if she'd suffered from air-concussion or not. But decided it'd better not to. |

HSE are on break for 30Min's and interviews will commence soon,1 thing i didn't realise is they have the same power as the police and can read you your rights at any time during the interview.
As the site manager I am responsible for the operatives on site and any operations that involve them,the initial reports are that there is no problem with the crane or the slings used to secure the load but with how the load was secured,which ultimately leaves the blame on the slinger/signaller (banksman). The load was the 4Th unit to be lifted and upon its descent struck a mast climber which caused the load to tilt out of the slings and fall to the ground striking a scaffold handrail at 5Th floor level before crashing to street level.
my gut feeling is that the slinger/signaller will be charged with some offence.
I took a photo of the incident with the unit on the ground with the lady adjacent but am unable to upload it although probably most wouldn't want to see it.
This is without doubt the worst ever experience i have had on a building site and my thoughts go out to the poor women who is now in hospital,the latest update on her condition is she has severe leg and head injuries but is stable,but we await scan results for further info..

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k. “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi. Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.
