4/5 🧵 The big unresolved issue is how the manhole was left open. Con Edison said it is investigating and issued a statement saying it was “deeply saddened” and that safety remains its top priority. Fair enough, but if a person can walk into an uncovered hole on Fifth Avenue at night, then “top priority” arrived a little late. A nearby construction worker told the paper the opening should have been covered or barricaded, and even wondered whether live electrical equipment may have been involved.
