A shattered mum broke down at the site where her teen son died in a horrific scaffolding collapse, and the place where she had also worked. Christopher had just turned 18. RIP
Christopher Cassaniti had turned 18 just days ago and was an apprentice form worker. He and another man, who is 39-years-old, became trapped beneath a mountain of twisted steel and cement bricks after the horror accident at a development project on Epping Road in Macquarie Park earlier just after 12.20pm yesterday.
Rescue workers continued a “delicate” operation to free Christopher but struggled to reach him due to the sheer amount of debris. He was pronounced dead at the scene.This morning, CFMEU Construction & General National Secretary Dave Noonan, said the death was caused by a “catastrophic failure of a scaffolding”.
“You have been my friend since the first day of kindergarten. Words can’t express how much this hurts. You were full of positivity, always smiling, always seeing the best in everyone. You are an angel. It hurts me that someone so precious had to pass. Forever in my heart.” “He was a good young man. Just eager to do his work. He always had a smile on his face, just a bright young man. I’m speechless.”Source:Supplied
