Ottawa LRT

Yeah exactly, toward the end when he says there's incidents on any construction site, him and people like him, are why incidents happen but they are completely preventable. I've worked lots of jobs that are dangerous that have finished without incident.

Can someone enlighten me to the content of the video?

They were blowing up gas canisters (like smoke bombs) at one of the LRT underground stations, intentionally, and they had also asked that 2 LRT vehicles come to that station, along with 4 operators in those vehicles. They pulled into the station, and they see all this staff with gas masks, and the gas started leaking into the LRT's, causing carbon monoxide poisoning to the operators along with other symptoms. Obviously they were taken to the hospital with minor injuries. The thing is, the gassing of the station was planned, as was the arrival of the LRT, but this asshole, Marconi, never bothered to ensure that the operators knew what was going on, nor have gas masks available in the LRT. He called it a miscommunication but then goes on to say how these things happen. Really just shrugging it off like it's a normal day to day thing at the worksites. He needs to be fired. If not for the incident, but also because he's a top ranking asshole. Dude deserves a couple black eyes and a broken nose.
