No sympathy for Toronto’s ‘Crane Girl’

 Many of you in this industry would have seen the news reports of a 23-year-old woman being rescued from a downtown Toronto crane, high over a construction site at Church and Wellesley April 26 (more details). Not only did Marisa Lazo endanger her own life, but she also put the lives of others at risk, too, during the rescue. Toronto’s Crane Girl won’t be getting Facebook likes from these readers!

‘Wyandotte’ writes…..
“Should’ve left her up there.! When’s the last time anyone’s seen a cat skeleton up in a tree? Same with people. You find your way up, you can find your way down.”

‘Justa sayin’ writes…..
“They need to make an example of this woman. Fine her big time and make her put in community hours going to school telling kids how stupid she is. The rescue was not a big deal …..The real risk victim was the construction company / crane company. If she fell, Work Safe and all the brain-dead government Monday morning quarterbacks would have made them responsible. We all know that signs, fences, and full time security are no defense against the stupid. The regulatory bodies and lawyers always follow the money.”
