        The workers were at the top of a hotel near Disney World where concrete was being poured. A Fire Rescue spokesman says that the support structure gave way, sending two workers plummeting to their deaths. The third worker sustained minor injuries.https://usat.ly/2BXZX49

        Just fyi... these two were not disney employees, this was a Marriott hotel in Orlando. They are using Disney world as a location reference.

        Saying “southwest Orlando” is also a location reference. But it wouldn’t drive clicks by getting Disney World on the trending list.

        No unions, no on-site inspection, many foreign workers placed in perilous positions every day. Welcome to Florida.

        But think of all the money the corporations are saving by cutting these corners. Peoples lives mean nothing to these companies.

        You could report this entire story without ever once mentioning Disney World. This is why Americans distrust the media.
