I threw up a little in my mouth when the union guy said, "The strong union iron workers and union laborers did a spectacular job shoring that up and keeping the men and women safe."
Good thing there weren't any non-union workers there or they would be all dead!

Maybe they should work harder so the buildings don’t fall down?

"Rebar was there to prevent the falling concrete from crushing the workers below."So THAT'S what rebar is for! I was always under the impression that it was there to carry the tensile loads because concrete is weak in tension. Silly me.

Miracle nobody got hurt.Amen to that. That union Rep that said that had to be an idiot.
I'm sure there wasn't a 6.0 on the Richter scale earthquake, just what did he think caused the collapse. :)

"Rebar...was there to prevent the falling concrete from crushing the workers below."In case anyone thinks this is accurate, it is not.
That is some reporter's interpretation of what was told to him.

"Products from China no doubt."In this case, probably not.
I've been on enough construction sites to know that the construction company didn't brace the forms correctly.
Even if it was Chinese steel, that still wouldn't have entered the equation until after the concrete was cured and the forms were stripped.

Wonder if this is an Indian casino. If it is built on tribal trust land, the tribes make the building codes, and often they are much laxer than city or county codes.

It'd really be interesting to hear this reporters description of fly ash.

Cleveland, Union, Casino. My household earwigs could connect these dots and proffer the correct analysis.
