- Several people died after part of the Amazon warehouse collapsed in Edwardsville when storms rolled through Friday night.
With the billions of dollars that Amazon brings in, why didn’t the spend the money to reinforce the structural material and even build steel safe rooms that would hold however many workers are staffed for each shift. this is unacceptable. Why didn’t they tell the night workers to NOT come in knowing these storms were being televised for days in advance. Workers families should sue Amazon. No excuse for those trapped, injured, and killed.
Good luck wit dat! Da Court & Legal shitstem, favorz large Corporationz, over mployeez, OBVIOUSLY. Limited Liability, limitz da Lawyerz ability 2 seek restitution. Perhapz if da familiez come 2gether, sum scumbag Lawyer will b able 2 realize a substantial lawsuit, BUTT dis iz unlikely 2 happen, bcause of da Limited amountz able 2 b recovered from these large corporationz & also bcause da familiez will probably lack cohesion, outside of sum Legal aide, pulling them 2gether.
Julie I agree with you. Just some basic concern and caution in advance would have made all the difference. When a hurricane is coming, people prepare and businesses close. With such a storm as this one, it wouldn't have killed Amazon to close for a few hours just out of caution.
Amazon has entire armies of lawyers and PR goons to "handle" this, that's why. Also blame the local politicians who all whore themselves out to Amazon

They ain't hearing us! Great HarlotZZZzzzzzzzzzz O Babble On, NEVER undastand, tho.
@@connie7128 Absolutely agree!! Those Amazon workers were sitting ducks! (nobody should’ve been in that facility!).
I'm working at an Amazon warehouse in a different state. It's tragic what happened to the people that were out just trying to make a living
Does Amazon pays well? I'm just asking because Bezzos is a billionaire and I have read much bad things about him.
@@ericgold8500 inappropriate for this post!
I also work at one..I know how hard they work..I'm trying not to 😢
Goes to show you misfortune can strike from no where at no time so always be humble in life.
@@ericgold8500 I work at a delivery station. It's way way easier than a fulfillment center. The pay is good but Amazon can afford to pay more and they should
I lost my cousin who worked at this building and she was hit when the building collapse as she tried to make it to the restroom for safety. RIP cuz
Praying for all families devastated by these terrible tornadoes and for all rescue workers. 🙏🏻
Pray for my xbox and studded butt plug.
where was god when this happen so whats the point of praying now when the person you praying to allowed it to happen
@@bjvu9460 the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh. God is good and all is well.
My thoughts to those injured and those left to grieve. This is horrible.
Yes yes yes
Agree with you
Ur thoughts are less than the worth of a penny stop virtue signaling
@@average_psyop_enjoyer So should he say prayers? Or are those also worthless?
@@RuthyLook it’s worthless if you don’t actually pray and when everyone just says it loosely and redundantly
So terrible 😞. May God strengthen the family members during this critical time!
@itsme Emma Said "may God" not my God.
As someone that works at an Amazon facility warehouse in IT at night shifts, hearing this really scared me. Prayers for everyone that was affected by this storm.
I couldn’t imagine spending the last hours of my life at work in an Amazon warehouse…
No amount of money is worth someone’s safety.
Istg this all I keep thinking . Dying at a job . Ain’t no way
@@destinixshakur bro I think about that anytime I see a robbery gone wrong on the news.
Work is terrible but imagine spending your last hours at work? An unimaginably unfair way to go out
@@vozz4826 I promise you I agree because that’s crazy to me to think that some of these people was working overtime etc . Sheesh! I was praising GOD last night because I’ve been tryna get a job and it’s shit like this, that make me feel a little more okay with the fact I don’t have one . I just have to be more patient . I feel this is one of the saddest ways you could go out . But this is giving me 9/11 vibes for some reason
@@destinixshakur well this tragedy wasn’t caused by a malicious attack but I see where you’re coming from.
But on a side note if you’re interested there are a bunch of jobs you can do at home that pay just as good as other jobs
I’m not too familiar with it but I know cvs, and other big companies hire (at home) workers. Might wanna look into that
@@vozz4826 could’ve been HAARP
Praying for everyone who were involved in the tragic tornado in Edwardsville,god please give them strength to cope with the loss and damage.🙏🏾
🧢🧢 u ain’t praying for nobody
to which god are you referring to?
Obviously, you have not yet learned the difference between god and God.
Where is your education?
Did you even have an education?
Undertake an extensive reading program to educate yourself better and become fluent
in the English language.
Capital G when referring to God..how do you NOT know the Importance of this..unless of course u are referring to the Fallen.
Who do you think sent the tornado? God wants them to suffer
What a horrible thing! Praying for all involved.
As a former amazon warehouse employee, I know they have severe weather evacuation protocols. Have to wonder why anyone was in there to begin with...
I hear you, how can they work when there is a severe storm coming. Don’t get me wrong Christmas around the corner pressure and greed has to do with this. Somebody has to be accounted for lose of lives at this facility. There is no building that can stand a force of a major tornado. Pray for lives and speedy recover for the injured. Peace
A billion dollar corporation doesn't build a safe building for employees?. Look at how flimsy the structure is!!
Sue them for every thing they have. Condolences to the people who were affected. 💘
Jeff Bezos can spend his money on his little space ship rides and give Millions to Obama but can only build flimsy buildings for the commoners to work in. Shame on Amazon
@C.J. Wright - Wingate shame on you for being ignorant, I mean you're expecting a warehouse to withstand a direct hit from an F3 tornado? Ya no that won't happen
I'm in STL. I was out when the alerts came through. Stores CLOSED DOWN and sheltered in place. I understand the casualties, but I do hope Amazon told employees to shelter in place. Prayers to those affected. Condolences to family🥺.
They probably told them to keep working because Jeff bezos is a dick
@@sdfplanespotting this is the most likely answer.
@@feebee5557 yea sadly
Nope I work at a Amazon and we don't do drills for storms, fire drills and what's worst of all we walk through metal detectors that are turned off. We complain about our safety often but nothing changes prolly never will until u hear about a shooting spree at a site guarantee it.
@@Tellabuns it’s all about 💵💰
My god that building collapsed like papier-mâché.. My heart is broken for these people who had to work whilst a deadly tornado was ongoing.
My heart, thoughts, prayers, and waves of courage and strength are being sent towards all those impacted by these storms: from the victims, the first responders, all the families, and the communities! You got one Texas girl backing you best I can from a distance! 🇺🇸
Please pray for my mac book, stars wars lego set, and k cups.
This comment means nothing and nobody who has family injured in the accident is going to see it. You’re basically just writing that to make yourself feel better. Go donate some money and actually do something other than comment on a youtube video if you truly care.
@@Natharsus seriously. You have to say somerhing about karma for it to work. Anyways sweatie....take my gold and updoot kind stranger. Happy spooktober.
@@EMK666 Maybe try to say something that makes sense next time. You’re just as much (if not more) of an idiot as the original commenter.
I don’t understand how business keep going through a severe storm. You can see this facility not fit for storm or this storm was extremely severe. Somebody has to be accounted for the lose of lives here. My thoughts and prayers. Greed and pressure Christmas around the corner shame where is safety and importance of lives.
I bet these employees were forced to stay on the floor and work instead of taking shelter. This is why you need unions
Praying for the families of the people who were lost in this accident.
From Oklahoma, I truly understand this horrific situation I am praying for everyone... Community needs to come together.
Condolences to those who have lost loved ones, 🌹💔🇬🇧🇺🇸
Support from across the pond,
Stay strong.
Thanks Todd Brady...the Human Family is hurting today ..
@@johnmesser522 we stand together bro, UK&USA🌹💔🇬🇧🇺🇸
A lot of the matter that composed the building is missing. The tornado probably carried away a significant portion. I heard that parts of the building and vehicles were observed in a lake or pond near the warehouse.
aweful from south Africa.. have similar situations happening here... and all over the world
Oh my gosh that’s awful.
@Seven Inches of Throbbing Pink Jesus Actually most doctors and rescue workers are good people; don’t be so jaded.
@@MichaelB769 exactly ... it's not like we are all video game protagonists fighting against a world of only enemy NPCs. People need to differentiate between individuals and institutions, as well as understanding which groups/people are truly at fault vs who is just the middle man or inadvertently working with centrifugal forces.
This headline is very misleading. A building collapse is different from a tornado hitting the building.
Yes and because of that there are countless people blaming the company and building. People desperate to see victimhood in everything so they can virtue signal. Fake news is stoking class envy.
My prayers for everyone. How terrible.
Did you actually pray?
@@average_psyop_enjoyer perhaps she did. Why are you so against condolences?
@@RuthyLook because it’s virtue signaling, redundant and meaningless when it’s thrown around like candy, and majority don’t actually pray they just say “prayers and thoughts” and “my condolences” to no one but a video comment section
send money not prayers
Oh no! So sad. Condolences to all.
Who would have thought a giant aluminum building would behave like a giant trailer in a tornado.

@@ShamanicSamHighPriestessCongratulations, your comment lives down to my expectations, Precious.
This truly sucks.. Prayers be with all involved..
This is a tip for bezos and the amazon people. If you're going to build such massive warehouses,, spend more on structural reinforcement.. Especially in bad weather areas..
Im in construction. I know for a fact, they do the bare minimum allowed to save money..
This is unacceptable
It all starts with building codes. I would hope that all these big structures in tornado areas would have a hardened emergency area for the workers, but hey, that would be an expense and to the owners workers are just numbers on a balance sheet.
The problem with billionaires and huge powerful corporations is that the bare minimum where their employees are concerned is the norm. They have enough power and money to pay off whoever decides to sue them.
You could see a wall of yellow and red on radar well before it hits. How come in these big factories dont they just shut down for short time get employees to safe spots until the storm passes. When the temp gets this warm in December just hours before a cell hits you can almost bank on disaster...
Exactly. Why were they even working?
Greed?
It’s Amazon. They don’t care
@RUclips censorship how would the employees working know what’s going outside? They’re not aloud to have phones on the floor. Btw Amazon workers work 10+ days.
This tornado was moving fast! 65mph at times. Once they got the warning they never would've had time to get anywhere else. Most employees were sheltering in place when it hit, but it didn't matter because the tornado was a monster.
Why didn't Amazon send workers home knowing tornado on way. I feel so sad for the lives lost. Praying for all of them and their families
Tornados 50/50 chance it was heading there way. It's still a guessing game to predict. Plus night time twister really hard to see . Seeing as most sighting are still done by storm chaser boots on the ground.gone from 1 minute warning to 20 minutes warning now.

My jaw dropped when they showed the building. I hope they’re able to safely get out all the survivors. My heart goes out to the families of the lost. Mother Nature truly is frightening.
Man all that metal at the warehouse you're a goner over there.
@@mulan7015 yup sad but true
So is greed!! The Amazon facility should’ve been closed.
I feel bad, I worked for Amazon and they don’t stop for nothing or nobody.
In Illinois if the weather is bad they usually send out text messages about their employees staying home until further notice. My brother been at Amazon for 4 yrs now. Your Amazon is tripping.
Amazon should've had storm shelters especially in a tornado proned area point blank period.
I was at work at my amazon facility when we got the news about this. So so sad.
i was working in my own Amazon Warehouse when this happened praying for souls who was lost 😞
I was working at an amazon facility as well in Illinois during all of this happening,makes me nervous about my building too and it’s old😢many prayers to the people that was put to work during this horrible weather🙏🏼

@@debbiecopello1583 exactly
They should of told the employees to go home knowing there's a tornado. It's so sad
Sending prayers to everyone stuck and the crews working to help! OMG such a tragedy!
As a former responder, the building looks like it was create with proper structure a safety zone investigation is needed!! looks improper building!! my heart goes out to those folks ( lack of safety iiiiii) check inspection logs this "wearhouse" looked like it badly constructed!!
@Coco
Lawyerz, & DUH Court shitstem, must b bought off by BozoZZZzzzzzz, bcause u haveta lose a hand, b4 u can git compensation 4 an njury, dat Amazon caused.

Hang in there buddy
Our managers mentioned this today before our shift at an amazon fullfillment center in wisconsin while a storm was coming through. Freaked me out. I hope amazon does right by the families affected in this tragedy. What a scary way to die.
🙏🏻I pray for all of the other families in Edwardsvill as my neighbor hood was struck this night

I can see why you work at Amazon (your grammar gives it away).
This is absolutely horrible and reprehensible. I worked for Amazon (thankfully for only 2 months) and I will never work for them again. My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those whose lives were lost. 🥺
I'm sure Amazon is horrible to work for, but they really can't be blamed for a tornado.
Greedy company
@@awright119021 wondering why employees would be asked to work when so many businesses were closed once the alerts of severe weather was announced?
@@awright119021 no shelter in place ? a tornado doesnt just pop up out of nowhere im sure they had there warning signs and didnt care about the employees if u care more about the packages getting out then your employees safety that tells you alot about that company
In the building code a warehouse doesn't need to be built to withstand a tornado. The logic is that a warehouse doesn't have that many people working in it. I think the building code should have a special provision for warehouses like Amazon's where there are way more people inside than a normal warehouse.
Praying for everyone affected by these terrible tornado’s my thoughts and prayers are with those suffering and who may of lost loved one’s. From Australia 🙏🇦🇺 ❤️
OMG my thoughts and prayers are out to everyone who is affected by the storms
I fell in love with this area when we were stationed at ScottAFB. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone and their families.🙏🙏🙏🙏
April 3, 1974 similar pattern and conditions...so sorry for all of the people! 🙏
@Guam Cruise You really woke up today and chose to be an idiot, ha?
@Guam Cruise idiot it is.
@Guam Cruise your a seriously flawed human being
The fact its early december makes this a bit different as well as a modern building should withstand anything 1974 had to offer as far as storm.intensity . the way things line up and the results are comparable, the fact we are 6 months out from the peak season for tornadoes is quite telling. .
It would be more comparable to the tri state tornado. Footage shows (more than one possibly) that this tornado that hit the factory came from Hickory Ridge, Arkansas and kept moving through Campbellsville, Kentucky and possibly further! We'll find out if it broke the record of the OLD tri-state tornado distance and if it spawned a bunch of tornadoes like the 1974 and 2011 super outbreaks
My deepest condolences for the families of the victims.
Father strengthen those who are hurting..comfort those suffered loss..protect and keep the rest through angelic help at this time .
WOW; THIS IS DEVASTATING... PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY, FRIENDS& ASSOCIATES....GOD BLESS😢🙏
Wow. I worked at a facility in phx.. so it is 24/7 & Amazon has lots of workers ar night too. 😔 hope they can help and find survivors. 🙏
Same. It's really sad what happened
I worked at a similar place those warehouses are built fast and cheap
Worked at Amazon Michigan. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Smh....
Prayers for the people that lost their lives ✨🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🕊🕊🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹🌹 and praying they can safely retrieve the other workers from the rubble
I can't believe that Amazon insisted on people working right through a dangerous tornado warning. I cancelled my prime membership and won't be using Amazon for any products from now on. I hope these cities charge Amazon for these first responder expenses.
Those buildings are scabbed together in the cheapest way possible....what can one expect
What a horrific mess. This is a devistating event, and one of the biggest natural disasters in many years. Prayers to all the families still waiting for notice of loved ones that maybe injured or deceased. To all 1st responders our prayers are with you too as you face this tragedy.
Sad we are not hearing from more of these employees. Horrible, I followed these deadly tornados last night on live streams. People were chatting, asking where to go and terrified. It was heartbreaking being in my own home safe and far away. Love from Florida.
Florida has worse weather than Illinois. A toddler could research that better.
This is money that the infrastructure bill should support, rebuilding and supporting those families that lost everything including their loved ones!
My heart and prayers go out to all those affected and those still in the path of these tornadoes devastation ❤️💔❤️
People should have been told not to come in to work... they've sent us home with full pay before a tornado warning was in effect before.
Rich man, cheap building 🏚️
Hope the investigation finds negligence in these make shift warehouses with no INSPECTIONS or OVERSIGHT !
God bless 🙏❤👑
Yeah they are going to blame it on the weather
Sending prayers for so many injured & who died during this horrible storm throughout this storm. Longest tornado threw so many states. We all need to pay attention to this globe warming. Something different in all parts of the country & world. Stay safe all ☮️
Praying for everyone!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
If you watch how they build these buildings it makes you wonder how they stay standing with all the minimal framing they use...cookie cutter warehouses going up all over the country to house all our precious Chinese products
Prayers for all affected.💔

You know what, 200 mile tornado? No escape. God bless all of the people who have been killed, nothing you could do to escape something that huge.
