  • I was within 8 meters of someone dying twice, the second time I was less than 2 meters away.

    The first was a truck driver with a load of cast iron pipes. Truck was on a slight angle, and when he undid the straps the load fell on him.

    Second time was a load of stone going up a scaffold on a hoist, it hadn’t been secured properly and a guy cut through the exclusion zone and this 100kg stone window cill just…yeah. There wasn’t really a lot left of the top third of him.

    I’ve had a lot of therapy about these and I still dream about the second one.
