Inspector Says Contractor Responsible For Checking Nuts 7/8/02
A worker responsible for inspecting bolt-nut connections at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh didn't check connections that may have contributed to a Feb. 12 collapse of a steel truss that killed one worker and injured two others, investigators at a coroner's inquest about the accident learned.
Begun in early June and continued on June 25, the inquest will resume July 22. After its conclusion, presiding lawyer Michael George and Allegheny County Coroner Cyril Wecht will decide whether to recommend filing charges.
