The work environment can be a very dangerous one. Unfortunately, the Bronx was reminded of this fact again on August 5, 2014, when a contractor of the Metropolitan Transit Authority was crushed by a 2,700-pound battery and died. According to the Daily News, the contractor was unloading a crate containing a battery from a truck at the Throgs Neck Expressway facility when the crate fell off the back of the truck and crushed him. As this man’s family members understandably focus on grieving their loss, the clock will start ticking on determining who was responsible and why.
