Is the whore’s family going to sue the construction company alone or the hospital as well?
Well gee, big shot, who would you sue if it was your mother?
This is England. Nobody is going to sue the hospital. Now if it was the US some lawyer scumbag would argue there shouldn’t be windows rather Kevlar or metal plates.
I think it was from South Africa.
Was your mother a whore? It makes one wonder because you certainly have some hang up about that. It seems strange that you can’t speak of women without referring to them as whores.
Your an evil, nasty, little man!
Curious JD is on a plane right now, headed to Mdatswana, or whatever the hell the name of this place is. He’s going to sue the hospital for 10 plump pigs and 3 of the villages virgins.
Freak accident…that’s a shame.
I think the rock was dropped long ago on the first Anon’s head.
And you dropped it so you could sue the hell out of the Hospital. You just didn’t know it was in East Buttfuck, Africa.
From the article:
“Police said the rock was apparently launched from an explosion at an adjacent construction site where blasting work on Mdantsane’s first full-blown shopping mall is under way.
The site is being developed by the Johannesburg-based Billion Property Group, which is also behind development plans for a R800million shopping mall adjoining Hemingways Casino.
The woman’s death on Wednesday is the second accidental death connected with the site in less that four months – in May, 11-year-old Asemahle Daweti of Mdantsane died after a bulldozer driver unknowingly dumped sand on him while he was playing there with seven friends.”
You have to keep in mind that these tragedies are the price of progress in much of the developing world. How many died building the Hoover dam? About 100. If the Hoover dam were being constructed today, it would never be finished due to litigation and public outcry. Tragedy nonetheless, but we have to keep in what a luxury life is in much of the world.
The Hoover Dam couldn’t be built today? What a stupid statement, given the megaprojects built in the US everyday.
“The Hoover Dam couldn’t be built today? What a stupid statement, given the megaprojects built in the US everyday.”
You’re right. I live in Boston and we have the Megaproject “big dig”, which created a billion dollars in lawsuits for the sodomites and is over budget by 12 billion dollars, and is still killing immigrantsa when the cement caves in. I’ll have to finish this later. I have to drive to work and because the “Big Dig” is closed again, I have to leave an hour early.
Boston? Why you are already closer to Europe than most – get on the plane, man! Go live in the utopian world of socialized medicine. Get the immunity a poor physician like you craves!
You’re right though, clearly we need some immunity for the Big Dig. If it hadn’t been for lawsuits, I’m sure they would have built it so that chunks of concrete wouldn’t have fallen on people’s heads and killed them!
Don’t worry about finishing it. You were finished long ago.
“The Hoover Dam couldn’t be built today? What a stupid statement, given the megaprojects built in the US everyday.”
This has to take the cake for dumbest comment posted on this blog. What megaprojects do we build everyday? Are you talking about the foreign car companies setting up manufacturing facilities here?
As previous poster stated, the Big Dig is a tragic waste. Let’s not even get started on the Space Shuttle. And surely any attorney knows that the World Trade Center should have been able to withstand a 757 or two. I guess you could call the Iraq war a big project. Too bad that it has cost more lives than the Hoover Dam and provided a lot less energy!
The fact of the matter is that there are no big projects in our overburdened, overlawyered, overextended country. The big projects are all in other countries. You must leave the US to find the Chunnel, the tallest buildings, etc. Face it, we have lost our leadership.
” Are you talking about the foreign car companies setting up manufacturing facilities here? “
Among others. Where do you think Donald Trump makes his money? Gambling in his casinos? What is the Freedom Tower? What do you think adding on to a refinery costs?
I realize a medical degree makes you think you know everything, but you’re seriously off base here.
Think, man, think. There are big projects in China like the Three Gorges Dam because we did all our damming years ago. What a stupid comparison. Of course developing countries have a lot going – they are catching up. Do you read newspapers?
“What is the Freedom Tower? What do you think adding on to a refinery costs?”
The Freedom Tower is a sketch in some architects office, held up because the Human pieces of shit will sue before the first brick is laid. We haven’t built a refinery in this country in 25 years, because no-one wants it in “my backyard”
Please, stop posting. I own you, and the only person who doesn’t know you’re my bitch is you. For your own sake, let it go.
“Do you read newspapers?”
I read the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times every day. How about you?
The comment about the Freedom Tower is right on. Essentially all refinery construction is in other countries, not here. Donald Trump is a marketing machine and his only megaproject is his hairpiece.
You’re evidently not reading very closely. The Freedom Tower was initially tied up in litigation between the owner of the lease and your old buddies the insurance companies. Surpisingly, the insurers didn’t want to pay. The rest is typical NYC intergovernmental squabbling. But there is construction going on, and by any standard, it’s a mega project.
As for refinery construction, many, many refiners, particularly on the gulf coast, have added capacity to their refineries. This is not a miniscule undertaking.
Donald Trump hasn’t built anything? I know you see the words, but read for comprehension.
There has not been a new oil refinery constructed in the US in 30 years. The world’s largest refinery, a project of the Indian-controlled Reliance Industries, is under construction in India.
I am not impressed that Donald Trump’s projects are megaprojects. He is a master of self-promotion to those with low self-esteem.
