“That day they didn’t have any yellow tape [to mark the danger zone around a rebar drill], and probably tape costs $10. Without the tape, [the worker] didn’t realize he was too close to the machine. He was cleaning his shovel, and the machine turned and hit the guy in the back of the head. When they go to him, he was already dead. They killed him, all because of $10.” Adrian Magallenes, Dallas ironworker
