File under: Taliban

#1 Not as dangerous as in the USA. Over 125 highway workers each year are killed while on the job. Careless drivers mostly. Keep that in mind next time your driving and you see the "work ahead" sign. This public service announcement brought to you by an ex-construction industry rantburger.

#2 Jack, the three construction workers killed in Colorado Springs all died from "freak accidents". Two were killed when a crane overturned. I don't remember how the third one died, but it was some kind of weird accident. Construction work is dangerous. When you add in the hazard of people shooting at you and blowing things up, it gets REALLY dangerous. The taliban continue to prove to the entire world they're just a half-step up from rabid animals.
