nice to see bbc news reporting 1 tragic death in this incident but ignoring the tragic and criminal 281 deaths over the last 2 days . the right wing infestation of the bbc is disgusting.

What a crazy way to go. Such an unfortunate thing to happen. Seriously what are the chances of being hit by a crane. Sad news.

What a tragic disaster.

I hope it’s not money above safety!

Omg there must b a serious breach in H&S tht someone has to b responsible for this. Those poor families who hv suffered.

One in six trials for COVID-19 treatments studied hydroxychloroquineAbout 200 of 1,200 clinical trials looked at anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine as a potential treatment for coronavirus, but fewer than 25 studies examined dexamethasone or remdesivir. Hmm, that’s very strange given a recent study with a large cohort actually had very positive results. No mention of that.. they’ve restarted trials! FakeNews Hydroxychloroquine This one topic shows the pure hatred for our President by the media. I couldn’t agree more. I can’t tell you just how angry it makes me. The fake news media is on overdrive because they fear him being relected President. I fear him not being elected President because without him we go back to the old order and bowing to CCP. 🇺🇸
