A worker is seen high up on the side of the building after a construction crane collapsed at a new Hard Rock Hotel under construction on Rampart Street near Canal Street in New Orleans Saturday, Oct. 12, 2019.
1031 Canal was a partially collapsed 190-foot-tall (58 m) multi-use high-rise building in New Orleans, Louisiana, located at 1031 Canal Street in the Central Business District. If completed, the project would have been known as the Hard Rock Hotel New Orleans.
On October 12, 2019, the under-construction building partially collapsed, resulting in the deaths of three workers and injuring dozens of others. The building was subsequently demolished. Government officials are debating the project's future and the potential culpability of various people and organizations involved.
On April 3, 2020, OSHA found that the structural engineer had "failed to adequately design, review or approve steel bolt connections affecting the structural integrity of the building". The engineer has denied wrongdoing and is appealing the findings. Felony charges against three former building inspectors were recommended by the New Orleans Office of Inspector General.

Was this investigated? When I heard one of the workers was left up there for over six months my blood boiled.

This was such a big deal and it seemed to fade out far too quickly. We had a HUGE all hands meeting on my job site after this happened.
So glad your dad was okay. It made my stomach drop just reading it
