Did you drop something?
Rachael Ray swears she is one lucky lady. A heavy scaffolding plank plunging through a skylight missed her by centimetres (inches) as she sat at her desk in Wellington.
"It could have killed me," she said yesterday.
The three-metre (about nine feet) plank fell through the plastic skylight in the Havana Coffee Works building in Wigan St.
Miss Ray, cafe manager for Fidel's, was working on staff wages when the plank thudded beside her.
Havana Bar company director Chris Wagstaff was at another desk in the office and a third person was in the doorway.
"We didn't realise what was happening till it came through," Miss Ray said. "I swore. We all swore. What else do you do?"
The plank was dropped by a worker at the neighbouring construction site for the Hotel Wellington extension. The Labour Department is investigating.
Is this some sort of indirect death threat towards her, andy?
They should have erected something more stable.
