Axiom posted... Yeah like I thought. As someone that rode out a tornado in a literal ditch in West TN I can tell you they are definitely safer than standing in the open. Lol wtf do you think people driving on a highway are going to do. Just park their car and stand in the open like dumbasses Under a highway is a safeish place. It's not exactly what I'd call a ditch though. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] You could try actually reading the topic. Several people have given valid legit reasons as to why you don't leave a building during a tornado. I get that people like you have a raging hate boner for corporations, but this was the right call and SOP basically anywhere that gets tornadoes. And an employer cannot force you to stay or do anything really. I really doubt they had goons guardian the doors. --- "You go.

It's just a matter of how much punitive damages can be applied at this point for not having proper tornado safety shelter. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...

Acts of God usually arent covered but I'm sure they have a policy to cover it But during a tornado warning you dont scatter to a bunch of hollow tinny and plastic tubes on a road. It's quite possible more people would have dies trying to get out of the parking lot.

CyricZ posted... Question. Is Amazon not ultimately liable given they died on the job? Or would this be something they would insure for? No. If the building was made to substandard specs meanimg not desined to reasonably withstand structural damage, like we often see in India, then yes there is a degree of negligence there. If the building was up to code, it's a freaking tornado, there's only so much we can do to protect against nature.

with a tornado that close leaving would probably be more dangerous. it was at night, not during the day where you could see its path easier if they had let people leave and the tornado went through a block over it would be "why couldn't they stay in the big safe warehouse" --- I could see you, but I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment you were stolen... ...

[LFAQs-redacted-quote] I don't know. OSHA is investigating, but even if they find no fault you seem pretty hellbent at somehow making this to be an at-fault situation.
