LONDON, ONT. --
As the Day of Mourning for workers who have died or who were injured on the job approaches this Wednesday, one survivor of the Teeple Terrace building collapse is hoping for answers sooner than later.
Jacob Hurl, who was severely injured on Dec. 11 of last year, says he’s anxious to know exactly how the fatal collapse happened.
“That’s what keeps me up at night, is to see what really happened. Like I want a conclusion as to why two people had to pass away.”
Hurl was trapped under rubble for several hours before being rescued, then spent several weeks in the hospital recovering from a host of serious injuries. The good news is that he’s now out of the woods as far as life threatening injuries go, but he still has ongoing physical rehabilitation, along with psychological counselling for the trauma he suffers.
