Many of us have jobs that affect the safety of others: Architects, Airline pilots, structural engineers, construction workers and train engineers etc. While at work, please take the time to thoroughly understand the job at hand and the consequences of not paying attention to detail. Please "do it right.'
I got home at 11:30 last night after spending the better of 5 days with my dear friends, the families of Ashley Donohoe and her Cousin Olivia Burke who were killed early Tuesday morning in the Berkeley Balcony Collapse. It is difficult to explain the pain this tragic accident has caused not only to their friends and family, but the friends and family of the other four that died and the seven that are seriously injured.
It is very clear that something went wrong in the construction of that balcony. Water was allowed to enter the structure and the supporting members were heavily damaged, allowing it to separate from the building.
If you are working on a project that can affect human life please be present in the moment and pay attention to the detail. Take the time to understand the project and its complexities. Something as simple as not layering one piece of the water proofing barrier correctly could have created this disaster.
