On Saturday, a construction crew's drilling rig struck a high-pressure gas line in Long Island City. The result was an eruption of flame and two-alarm fire at the construction site. Though the fire was hot enough to melt windows, it didn't spread and was contained to the rig. Fortunately injuries were minimal as one work suffered a minor injury. The construction crew was extremely lucky as these incidents often result in major injuries. When an incident such as the one in Long Island City results in major injuries, the workers may have grounds to file a lawsuit to recoup any damages they may have suffered.
