Was sent there.

But since the full information hasn’t been released yet it’s hard to say what happened or what they could have done. Seems like the company screwed up royally. Working on a live line needs a lot of planning. Why couldn’t it have been purged and isolated? Oh yeah, money. To me I wouldn’t doubt they brought in contractors and gave them little or no real guidance other than saying work on this.

The original workers should have had decent access. So my question is why wasn’t Cima or the workers in the plant able to suit up in oxygen supplied hazmat suits?
