Ex-Supervisor Says He Warned Construction Company Before Collapse - News4Jax.com, FL Roberts said he also recorded a June 2007 conference call that included Choate officials and some subcontractors when there was a discussion of a problem with beams used to support the concrete structure. Unknown voice: 'So this is one of those things that looks good on paper, but when you go to put it together, it's not physically possible?'
Engineer: 'I've been crying about this from the beginning.'
Unknown voice: 'When?'
Engineer: 'When? When I was designing this damn thing.'
Unknown voice: 'What do you think? What's our best route now; the most painless?'
Roberts said he was asked to resign about a month after that exchange. 'I did let them know before I left, if they didn't change the safety habits and make some changes, within six months they would kill somebody,' Roberts said.
