Safety Takes Back Seat to Fun at 340 Bond
It’s good to know that recent tragic events have led to increased on-site safety vigilance. We wonder what the official DOB position is on children playing on heavy machinery at work sites? Amazing. GMAP

My father worked heavy machinery and it is great thrill as a boy to see the machines in action. Certain people who have never done manual labor in their lives are perturbed, what else is new. The whole PC overly protective Park Slope mindset in nauseating. Get a life.
looks like brownstoner changed the post from earlier this AM
“This little kid looks like he’s having fun and is well supervised. I don’t get what the big deal is.”
The big deal is he could die.
Wouldn’t that be fun?
We are assuming he’s a kid. If he is, he has no business being in that place.
His father bears responsibility for him being there. As for the Park Slope hat business…the comparison is absurd.
Nobody got hurt in the arguments over gender roles and a kid’s hat.
I’d be more upset if it was a little kid in a suit with square glasses 😉
bstoner’s post doesn’t say anything abt an architect. am i missing something? just because he’s knocked scarano et al before doesn’t mean he’s blaming them here.
This little kid looks like he’s having fun and is well supervised. I don’t get what the big deal is.
I’m very sceptical of Scarano’s claims of innocence and ignorance; however, this post of yours has nothing to do with that, and you really do a disservice to safety issues by conflating this picture with real disasters that have happened..
I see a picture as take your kid to work day, but I read the text as too clever by half.
