What Happened To My Dad? By Jordan Barab, Confined Space
The Contra Costa Times ran a fascinating, yet heartbreaking series last week describing a virtual perfect storm of industtrial disaster that swallowed the lives of five men and left fourteen children without fathers -- a pipeline company that had recently purchased too many aging pipelines to keep track of, a low-bid contractor with a terrible safety record and a municipal utility, unaware and unconcerned about the contractor's safety record driving the contractor to hurry and get the job done.
