This is right next to my house. I always say a silent prayer for construction workers cause they have the most dangerous jobs. I pray for him and his family.
Both iron workers & painters are working on the Manhattan bridge right now. The injured and deceased were both painters. For everyone commenting about safety, they were both wearing safety harnesses. You have to switch where your harness is attached when moving around and that’s when the accident happened. My brother is an iron worker working on the bridge right now and knew them both. He’s devastated. So sad 😔
