> Five people died constructing the Empire State building. Do you imagine the uproar if that happens today? People still die on construction projects all the time, on relatively uninteresting things even. eg, in 2019 four people died when a crane working above a Google office building in Seattle collapsed. It was local news for a few weeks, but I'm not sure it had any other effects, regulatory or otherwise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_crane_collapse https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_crane_collapse
