rich 1.0 Today marks the 39th anniversary of the L’Ambiance Plaza collapse in Bridgeport. It involved a 16-story apartment building that was still under construction. The structure used an experimental technique called lift-slab construction, which failed, causing the structure to crumble. We lost 28 construction workers that day, and it remains one of the deadliest construction accidents in US history. We spoke with Dan McInerney of IBEW Local Union 488 about the anniversary and what has changed since the tragedy to better protect construction workers.
