The death of Kosovar workers at the construction site in Vienna Who's responsible?

After the shock and grief, the growing question is: Who is responsible for this tragedy?

What exactly happened at the construction site in Porzellangasse near Bauernfeldlatz 9, where six new apartments are being built on the roof of a Vienna classic palace, remains largely unclear. The Witnesses have said that the workers behind the concrete works were sitting together on the wharfs smoking in the narrow courtyard when the scaffolding was destroyed - the wharf and the concrete bars were destroyed, then heard shouting, followed by a powerful crash on the piers, and another hearing: boom. Then came the silence. Deadly silence, writes Austrian newspaper oe24.at in the article Albinfo.Perscope broadcast.

As reported, emergency services were announced around 2:30. Just an hour and a half later, the professional rescue service reported on a worker with serious injuries to his head and spine. The injured is a 45-year-old Albanian from Northern Macedonia, who was immediately taken to the hospital. Albinfo.net finds out that the condition of the injured is stable. Over the next few hours, the full extent of the tragedy became clear: The entire concrete structure, along with the five people on it, had collapsed, falling into a limited space under the rubble and the wet concrete that gradually hardened.

Fear was established, and the disaster relief service sent his sound site team and the search-saving dog unit. Finally, though, after all their efforts, rescuers were forced to admit that all four men reported missing were dead.

Who is responsible for this tragedy?

After all this tragedy, now the essential question is: Whoever is guilty of the disaster and the subsequent tragedy, and for that reason they have to respond to them in court and in front of the bereaved who will likely join procedures with justified demands for the costs, it is still completely unclear. On the one hand, it is the contractor of the project, which had proudly posted on their social networking sites, naming the project both very successful for both the company and an additional space of life for residents.

On the other hand, responsible for this tragedy is being blamed on the company that was doing jobs in this workshop: Was the oath soon poured out and by whose command? Or the leader of the crane, should he be more careful and alert to see the whole situation, or was it just a technical problem?

So far according to Austrian newspapers, only the contracting company of this project has issued a statement expressing its deepest grief and condolences for families:

“We are deeply saddened by the tragic incident at one of our construction sites. Our deepest condolences go to the touch and their families... Out of respect for the victims and in light of the ongoing investigation, we ask for your understanding that we cannot publish further details at this time. We ask you to treat the situation with respect...”, it was written in an article from the heute.at newspaper.

What has been known so far is an initial report presented at the Public Prosecutor's Office, and the Labour Inspectorate is also involved. Then experts will take over and come up with a conclusion; The experience has taught us that to have a detailed report will take weeks or months waiting, so this terrible tragedy will continue to distract us for a long time.

It should be noted that many citizens have gathered at the site of the accident last night, where, in addition to having done their backs and lit candles, they have asked the Austrian authorities for a thorough and quick investigation into this accident. /Periscope
