Worker Injured When Concrete Floor Collapses: Will not be at work tomorrow.

Young people everywhere are decrying the concrete manufacturer, blaming them for the malfunction. Some have gone so far as to say that they should be "buried alive" much like the poor construction worker was.

People everywhere are praying with their hearts and souls for his recovery. One anonymous source was quoted as saying "I'm not even religious, but I am praying with every breath that he is back on the site tomorrow."

I really hope that they are able to get him out of the rubble. That's scary stuff. It's tough to get hurt at work like that. The building was almost done too. I hope he gets closure.

At first I thought this was a parody on all the Idina threads on the main board...

"Idina injured when trap door collapses: will not return to show tomorrow."

I laughed at first, but now I know it's serious - that's terrible.

Holy crap! NYU! I'm glad to see that you've come back. I knew shocking news like this poor man's plight would bring some people out of the woodwork.

You know, the worst thing though? The workman's comp probably isn't going to be enough to pay for his kid's school clothes and food. So his wife will probably have to turn to the streets to make ends meet.

I thought the same, munk. That's awful, though.

Apparently the building has to be condemned. It's a good thing that the contractor has made back the advance.

yes. I'm sure all 12 contractors have taken a collective sigh of relief knowing that they at least got their money back... screw the worker...

The construction company switchboard has been flooded with people trying to find out if he will be back on the site tomorrow, but so far, no comment.

He's just shy.
But seriously, it's a shame that the people who were planning on being tenants in that building have now lost their office space. I can only imagine what that cancellation line will be like.

I think they should higher some super famous celebrity to handle his job. just for tomorrow ... that way the cancellation line won't be so monstrous...

This just in: The worker has been released from the hospital with a girdle for his bruised rib, and a whopping prescription for some Wonderful painkillers.

Oh God, it hurts so bad. Maybe if I cut myself just a little, he will get better and come to work tomorrow.

I hear the injured worker will be making an appearance at the ribbon cutting. The press expects a standing ovation for at least 10 minutes.
