Report says last tie's removal led to fatal scaffold collapse - By Donovan Slack, Boston Globe
Three workers had been making their way down the side of the 14-story building, taking apart pieces of the scaffolding as they went. When they reached the last metal tie connecting the scaffolding to the side of the Boylston Street building last Monday afternoon, the workers removed it without first securing the remains of the scaffolding to a crane, the report said. That left the platform teetering on an unsupported mast more than 100 feet above the street, and it eventually tipped over.------------------------------------------- posted 5:19 AM :: reference link ::
