The parents of Austin McEwen, one of the six victims killed after a tornado pummeled an Amazon warehouse in Edwardsville, Illinois, last month, said Monday during a press conference that they are suing Amazon over the alleged wrongful death of their son.

McEwen's parents allege that the e-commerce giant, as well as a construction company and real estate developer associated with the facility that experienced significant structural damage after it was struck by an EF-3 tornado on December 10, 2021, failed to exercise reasonable care to protect workers like their son from sustaining injuries or death.

the federal agency that investigates workplace safety incidents, has six months to complete the investigation. Jack Casciato, partner at Clifford Law Offices, told CNN Business Monday:"Even as early as December 9, it was very clear that this area of Southwestern Illinois could be at risk of a tornado and the warning intensified throughout the day." "The question Amazon will have to answer is: 'Why were these workers present at this facility?'" Casciato said.

Good because their jobs were threatened if they left the building even though everyone knew the storm was bearing down on that area . They were the only employer around do jobs in that area were very hard to come by ,

Please help me! My name is Lin donglong, an employee of China telecom fuzhou branch. Company manager huang fei (communist party of China) organized the leadership of the gang of evil forces brutal persecution: surveillance location, insult,abuse, framed to take nude photos of me

No one should be in the communist countries at all right now no one

America has ti have strong changes in government regulation of staff

They sent Senators to do discussions in Ukraine hiw crazy is that while the other countries are sending weapons to help them what if someone sent weapons to help another man kill you but the Senators haven’t said stop sending weapons they should not be there at all

They are framing the sticks ti be low and many governments are doing things that are harmful and the Americans have to go independent

They should sue God for creating the tornado... greedy people

They are right ! it looks like a camping site, not an industry !!

elonmusk see how JeffBezos planning to colonize the new planet killing people 🤣 It's his turn to be roasted up 😛👍

Do people not understand that staying indoors during a tornado is the safest thing to do

Good, and stop shopping on Amazon. It’s all counterfeit overpriced garbage.

I wonder what the elites would do if all the peasants in the USA asked for democracy

I'm praying for God to be with all affected by that tragedy. Christ's redeeming blood and righteousness of faithfulness be with the loved ones and survivors. The mercy of the Lord endures forever I've lost 12 I'm my family to covid this year Talk to the Lord

They should probably sue mother nature. I might sue it also, I slipped on ice.

I hope they win big!

Hell will freeze over before bezos will settle a lawsuit like this.

Jeff Bezos could pay these families from what he earns in the next 15 minutes and it would eliminate the need for a lengthy lawsuit. Instead, he’s on a yacht in the Bahamian islands looking like a condom mixed with Mr. Clean while eating grape seeds off of Lauren Sanchez’s ass.

Only in America....
