Other workers at the scene said the surviving worker, who is reported to be severely injured, was found breathing but almost unresponsive in a portable toilet.

It is not clear whether the man fell into the toilet or was inside when the scaffolding fell.

fluffty day in my home state!

I had a buddy on a scaffolding crew for 5 years, just putting them up and down. He was paid very well, but it really has the potential to be a fatal job.

I'd say this has the potential of being worse than the time the lawyer got eaten by a T-Rex in Jurassic Park.

everytime i see scaffolding up somewhere, i always think to myself 'it's (insert year here), there has to be a better way to do things than this...

but then i remember i don't know jack fluff about construction

it just looks flimsy
