A falling piece of steel was to blame for one of the worst tall crane accidents in New York City's history. Shortly before 3pm crews working on a hi-rise condo building on the corner of 2nd Ave and East 51st St had a piece of steel fall and cut a support wire of a roof top crane causing it to topple south destroying a 4 story brownstone and causing damage and partial structural collapse of 3 other buildings in it's path. This would trigger an all out response by the FDNY as well as the NYPD Emergency Service Units.
The initial size up had 5 workers trapped by the crane and as many as 10 other civilian injuries. As the crews worked extricate the injured from the crane wreckage and building rubble at least 4 of the injured would be declared DOA and there might be as many as 8 more people unaccounted for.
Due to the large amount of debris and unknown structural stability of the damaged buildings the search process was slow due to safety concerns for both the rescuers and the possibly trapped victims. Con Edison was also called to the scene to shut down gas and electrical service to the involved buildings to lessen the chance of any potential fire or explosion hazards caused by ruptured gas service.
The 4th alarm assignment will have a long night of delicately digging through the debris in some cases several stories high as they search any additional victims of the collapse.

The Liberation Monument ("Russian monument")
(Further pictures you can see by clicking on the link at the end of page!)
Officially, one can find various names: (Russian) Liberation Monument, Russian War Memorial and Monument of the Red Army. The Viennese call the towering monument at the southern end of the Black Mountain course (Schwarzenbergplatz) usually disparaging "Russian monument (Russendenkmal)".
The monument commemorating the 18,000 in the liberation of Vienna fallen soldiers of the Red Army was designed by Major Intazarin, the sculptures were created by Lieutenant Jakoviev. The overall direction of the yet in April 1945 ordered and as first monument building after the war completed structure had major Ing. Mikhail Scheinfeld. In the construction were temporarily 400 workers involved, 18 tons of bronze and 300 cubic meters of marble were used. The monument was on 19 August 1945 with the assistance of Karl Renner, Leopold Figl and Theodor Körner unveiled on then so designated Stalin Square.
On a in total 20 m high, marble-clad base, the lower part in the form of a five-pointed red star, decorated with flags and guard badges, stands the 12 m tall figure of a Red Army soldier. The soldier is wearing a gold helmet and the famous Russian submachine gun with rotary magazine. With his left hand he has the flag with the right hand he holds a round shield with the Soviet coat of arms. In the background arises a broad, eight meter high balustrade, at its end respectively one group of two fighting men is situated, a prime example of the style of socialist realism, which gradually has become an art-historical rarity.
One of the inscriptions in Russian only in the early 80s have been translated into German and is:
"Eternal glory to the heroes of the Red Army, killed in action against the German-fascist invaders for the freedom and independence of the peoples of Europe (Mikhalkov)".
Until 1956, there were also graves of Soviet soldiers in the area, and a Soviet tank stood before the monument.
The monument is in the custody of the City of Vienna. As is generally known, Austria is according to the detailed provisions of Article 19 of the State Treaty of 15 May 1955 committed war graves and war memorials of the Allied Powers on Austrian soil "to respect, to protect and to preserve".
Between 1945 and 1956 stood in front of the fountain on the former "Stalin Square" a Russian tank, which is now in the Museum of Military History.

Sometimes leads the memory to the bad experiences which have been made by Austrian people with the occupation forces - particularly the Soviet - in the ten years of Allied occupation to open resentment against monuments such as the "Russian monument". Nevertheless - the greater the distance from the war and post-war period is, the more one had to give account about the fact how much innocent blood just the peoples of the former Soviet Union have sacrificed in the fight against Hitler's rule, and how little the Austrian people to its own liberation has contributed. Such thoughts have got to come to one's mind when one takes some time to decipher the Cyrillic letters of gold on a "Russian monument" - whether on that at Vienna Schwarzenberg Square or somewhere out in the vast realms of Lower Austria, where up to the Waldviertel (part of Lower Austria) little Soviet military cemeteries exist.
A survey by the Gallup Institute, published in the "standard" on 11th February 1992 shows that 71% of Viennes people do know the monument. A clear majority (59 %) is for the preservation of the monument. Only 9% of the 1,000 respondents agreed with the opinion that the monument should be eliminated as a remnant of Stalinism. So, have the Austrians made peace with the contemporary history?
Hochstrahlbrunnen
Before the liberation monument arises the to the occasion of the completion of the First Vienna Mountain Spring Pipeline on 24th October 1873 in the presence of the emperor put into operation Hochstrahlbrunnen (high jet fountain), which should have been standing according to the original plans in front of the Votive Church, then opposite the New Town Hall. The builder of the aqueduct and the fountain, Anton Gabrielli, was a friend of astronomy. Accordingly, symbolizes the respective number of the jets of water the days of the year, the months, the days of the month, the days of the week and the hours of the day.
This was the workers store.
Song 16 Tons.
Words:Merle Robert Travis
Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
If you see me comin', better step aside
A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
One fist of iron, the other of steel
If the right one don't a-get you
Then the left one will
You load sixteen tons, what do you get
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
The Gardens at Wortley Hall, close to Sheffield have a long association with the British Labour movement. It was purchased and restored in 1950 by a co-operative foundation, and is now a hotel & conference centre, and is used by several trades unions. The building, which dates back to 1586 was significantly altered in the 1740s, and is Grade 2* listed.
Wortley Hall was the base for SALT 10 - a classic car tour for Cold-War era vehicles.

The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program and Financial Security Program hosted a Working in America event, "Having a Stake: The Potential of Employee Share Ownership for Workers and Businesses” on May 10, 2018. Dr. Joseph Blasi introduced Congressman Erik Paulsen, US Representative for Minnesota’s Third Congressional District, who delivered opening remarks. In a discussion moderated by the Washington Post’s Heather Long, panelists — including EILEEN FISHER’s Amy Hall, ComSonics, Inc.’s Markita Madden-Puckett, AMSTED Industries’ Stephen R. Smith, and King Arthur Flour’s Steven Voigt — shared their experiences in companies with employee share ownership and discussed strategies to give workers a greater stake in our economy.

Migrant workers waiting for job vacancies,
People come to the big cities, looking for work to help their families and to get a better quality for their lives. This is a slow process, however, with time, usually this is a worthy action with benefits.

The second time we went to visit Sony and Nana's home in Proyyut Village, the sun came out, and with it came even more of the neighbouring children. They all led us on a wonderful excursion through the rice patties and fields that comprise their back yard.
