Story- A construction worker in Los Angeles, died Thursday on his second day of work. He fell 53 stories off the skyscraper of Wilshire Grand Center. This skyscraper has 73 stories in all. After falling off the skyscraper, he hit a car and was pronounced dead instantly by the Los Angeles Fire Department. The woman who was driving the car was then hospitalized. There is no further information on how she is doing.
The construction company, Turner Construction, said that he was not doing anything work-related at the time of the incident.
"Our hearts go out to the family of the deceased," the company said in a statement to the affiliate. "We are also sending our deepest sympathies to our loyal and dedicated workers for whom today's tragedy is deeply saddening."
My input- I feel bad for the company because it was only day 2 of working the job. I'm hoping he wasn't on his phone or doing something really wrong. I'm sure the company is very sad and is hard just knowing he only had worked 1 day before.

Questions-
What do you think he could have been doing instead of working?
After only 2 days of working, how would you feel as the company manager?

Again, your questions make it difficult for people to form opinions.
Maybe he was on his phone or something at the time of the fall, that's my best guess. How could he be not working at that height? If was the manager I would certainly pray for the family but also be worried for some sort of law suit.
My best guess is a lunch break. But I don't know what you would be doing instead of working when you're in conditions where you're 53 stories above the ground. If I was the company manager, I would feel bad, of course, but I would also be worried about law suits that could possibly be filed.
Who knows about what could have possibly happened. I agree! His family could also sue the company for what happened.
I think that he was possibly on a lunch break and was messing around with some of his co-workers and then accidentally fell, I think that it also could have possibly been a suicide attempt but I hope it wasn't. I would feel like my company wasn't safe and that maybe my company would get destroyed.
I'm hoping it wasn't a suicide attempt! That would be so sad! I like your idea about the possibility of the lunch break.
Eating lunch, because if he wasn't working than he must be doing something else, so my guess was lunch break leaned to far back and plummeted to his death. Like this shouldn't happen, but not completely surprise just more of a sadden expression.
Yeah I agree with you Brian! Lunch is a possibility. Who knows what he could have been doing.
I think he was messing around not knowing that he may fall and kill him self.. Or maybe he was depressed and he acted on it. If I was the company manager I would be like freaking out and saying I had no idea that whatever he was doing or on was unsafe and try to make it save. I also help the family out as much as I can because I would feel bad and make it feel like I did it.
I'm not really sure what he was doing, it could have been anything. It's possible it could have been a suicide because who knows what he was going through. But I hope it was just a simple fall or something like that. I would feel bad as a company manager. I would be thinking did I have anything to do with what happened.
