Same Old BS At Deutsche Bank Site

We would have hoped that after the deaths of two firefighters at the demolition site, things would have changed. The unnecessary passing of those men were caused by negligence of the most severe order. Investigations ensued, the papers screamed for justice, blogs screamed for justice and the relatives of the firefighters most certainly let their feelings be known. We were promised that attitudes would be changed and that those in charge would make sure that it would be different from now on.

Well, they lied:

NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- Outrage at the Deutsche Bank building after workers sever a standpipe, again.

Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer calls for an investigation. Although, he's not sure who should conduct the investigation since police and fire departments were supposed to provide oversight.

"I call it an outrage because part of what we have really worked to do, to make sure that when trouble hits the building, there is an immediate warning to the workers within the building and to the residents throughout the community," said Stringer.

The Daily News reports workers ripping out drywall on the second floor of the cursed tower across from Ground Zero apparently fractured the pipe, investigators said last night.

We really have no idea who can be held accountable now, especially after repeated failures to ensure competent oversight. The pipe had been disabled in the morning, with alarms going off to make sure people knew. Yet the call to leave the building did not happen until several hours later. Seven hours where if anything went wrong, the chance for tragedy skyrocketed. This place was supposed to be ultra-secure but apparently, it isn't.
