in THE MAIN WALL
AS of 5 pm, the team that deals with this type of emergency is still at work atttempting to rescue a person trapped after a ditch caved in. They are bringing in tents and heaters--as it might be some time before they are successful in their efforts. Apparently, hypothermia is a factor for this person. They have already rescued one person. Please pray that they are successful in returning this person alive to his loved-ones. The collapse is in DC.

Wasn't this a topic on the Wall a few weeks ago?

    Trench cave in

    The New York Times did a three part article titled "When Workers Die" about a month ago dealing with trench accidents.I believe it is still available but you need to register on thier site first. It's pretty disturbing, but makes you think.


    Work Safe!
