this is literally my worst nightmare. i have actual nightmares about this at least twice a week. so scary.
@espressopatronum President Chump in office was a constant nightmare.
That building still under construction. Those had to be workers injured. So sad, praying for everyone!
@TheObservantOne if it’s non union then most likely they are undocumented. Most of the time these workers are being paid off the book and that’s why some construction workers go non union to avoid child support , etc
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾😢😢😢😢condolences to the family of the person who died. What a horrible accident ‼️
Damn this is literally the reason I hate being on elevators now people look at me like I’m crazy
