My husband is not on that job but he is at another Strip project Encore towers. NOONE wants to go to the City Center and the union guys (and girls) that I have heard talking would rather be a hall rat and wait or pass the job to another and wait till the next day to NOT have to go to City Center.
I don't think it was a conspiracy, thats crazy he was an electrician NOT a mobster come on now. I heard that people think he leaned up against something and lost his footing and fell over or it was loose and fell through it.
They just lost a guy that had a HAMMER dropped on his head a few more plumbers that fell to their deaths too. I am not some weirdo that believes in ghosts and crap BUT can you imagine the uneasy feeling that place is going to have when or IF it does finally open. I feel for you men and women that do work there. Please keep in mind people that DO NOT work there ... Saturdays are OT days that a lot of them welcome BUT are hard for some crews to get he was probably busting A$$ trying to get the job done and get OT to have more money for when his wife came and lost his footing or did take a mental vacation as one person said. Those people on the crews work HARD and it is NOT air conditioned and the dirt and ust is nasty. RIP and your wife now has an angel to watch over her health and be with her always in spirit. I hope the other electricians are chipping in to help pay the funeral bills and to fly him back home and taking care of his wife in this time of need. I know my husband chips in when a "brother/sister" is lost on the job....Don't forget to do it...one day it might be you...don't leave your family in need your union brothers and sisters are there to help.
