I haven't talked to him in a few days...

Actually, he hasn't been on XBL in over a week, which is kind of odd for him...he's usually on every night. I just assumed he got a life.

I'm still alive guys lol, thanks for the concern though. That happened across the river, I'm in Jersey City with Broadway Concrete. Jacking is without a doubt the most dangerous part of running a tower crane and this unfortunate event is an example of what can happen. I should find out the specifics of what happened tomorrow, you can't believe the papers they're always wrong. R.I.P. Wayne and the rest of the Operating Engineers who lost their lives Saturday. I can't wait until friday when we'll be jacking up to 400' . Btw Brian, I'm in not fat you ***** lol.

Lol I'm downtown at 77 Hudson, all the indians are on the westside lol. On a serious note, I found out I know 3 of the 5 guys that died and one that was seriously injured. Santi, Aaron and Anthony were all great guys and it's a shame this had to happen. You couldn't ask for a better group of guys to work with and they will be missed. Also Russ lost a portion of his foot and broke his leg I'm told however he is lucky to be alive. This whole thing just makes me sick to think about, you never really realize how good you've got it and how fast it can be taken away.
