2 more buried while underpinning, WTF?
When is the carnage going to be stopped by DOB and these obvious incompetent contractors & developer going to get the boot. ENFORCEMENT! Pull this guy's license (if he is), not more work on ANY of his sites until an investigation is done.
3 worker deaths, 3 collapses, many undocumented injuries in the past 18 months...and that's just in this part of Bklyn!
Disgusted.

Stop coming here and advertising your blog, Oder. If Brownstoner thought it was worth reading, he would have included it in the links.

The wall collapse also caught my eye--when did human life become so cheap? How badly injured were these poor guys for what I'm willing to bet is a crappy looking poorly-constructed building?This city was once really strict about job safety. Also--where on East 22nd Street? Isn't that a low-rise area? Will the personalities of all Brooklyn neighborhoods be subsumed (along with the workers) under this years-long avalanche of crap?
