Terrible story... I have a lot of pity for the families of these people.

HOWEVER, if the marriage proposal thing is true and this guy was ever looking for a sign from above to decide if he should go through with it or not... well....

like 10-4Roger said, i heard he was just about to ask her in marriage...and while they were waiting the ambulance, he stayed all the time with her, holding her hand and telling her to stay with him...

Very sad...

:(

If I was this guy I don't know how I'd ever get over it. It was so distressing just to read something like this happening to someone else.

Horrible,

Merlot

Jesus Christ. Poor people. Wrong time, wrong place. If the guy chose the time & the place & the table...what freak bad luck, what guilt.

If only I knew...
I always said suchi was bad!

Seriously, that's horrible! The chances that parts of a building fall are very low and the risk of somebody getting killed by them is probably lower! Still, it happened... That poor guy will be marked for life...

Apparently that was not the table that the waiter had assigned them. They asked to be seated there. Talk about fate...

Very sad story... don't know how the guy is going to be able to deal with this for the rest of his life.:(

Do we know if they had known one another for a long time? I ate at that place with an sp last year & i began to think of the time when i was there last year. If this thing would have happened then & not now. That would surely bring about a sudden, very tragic end to a date!! :eek:

They were actually married... that was just a rumor.
Just hope they had no kids.

This story is shocking and unbelievable!

I ate dinner at Mikasa on Tuesday evening, June 30. The reason I remember the date was that I ate there before heading over to the Stevie Wonder concert. I sat at the bar; I assume this lady must have been sitting at one of the tables near the sidewalk. I always get sushi at Mikasa at least once every trip to Montreal, as it is my favorite of the sushi restos I have been to.

I had a really good dinner that night and the staff as always was young and friendly. Apart from the fact that I got some really good sushi I remember while sitting at the bar one of the female sushi chefs was using a tool that looked like a small blowtorch to sear some of the sushis. I never saw this before.

It is very incredible to me that something like this could happen. A few years ago I believe a bridge collapsed and killed some people in Laval. You should not have to worry about a piece of concrete falling on your head during dinner. What a sad thing and especially for her husband to watch her die such an inexplicable death.

How sad. I read they were celebrating her birthday. I must have walked by that spot a thousand times. I don't think I would ever eat there now. What's to keep another piece from falling off? Thoughts go out to her husband.

I used to tell friends that I felt confident in North American engineering standards, but between this and the Minneapolis bridge collapse (2007) my faith is wavering.

Still, at least it's not yet becoming a common occurrence.

From a Montreal Gazette reader (posted on the Gazette's website):


"This city is falling apart, snow plows kill people, bridges colapse and kill people, and now buildings are killing people. Ah, but all out money is being spent ensuring that everybody, including the dead, speak French..."

Hey DOC ! this is really really bad taste here !
U mean that's what you have to say about what happened to this woman ?

This really, really makes me sick.

Someone asked before on this thread... if anyone had gone through such a tragedy...And I bet u I'm not the only one here who went through some serious tragedy.

And It turns my stomach to read this.

Here u go ! have fun banning me Mod.
Really It will make me feel good after all !

Hello Doc,

Are you showing us that you agree with this guy, or what a jerk he is for politicizing a tragic death to serve his views?

You know what Doc, one of the great problems with the incredible expanse of human construction over the world is that so much of it is continually falling apart and has to be restored or rebuilt. This will happen constantly regardless of any specific social or political issues of bitter contention in any city. It cannot be avoided no matter what the issue is, so I find Berlanga's effort to blame inevitable infrastructure decay and resulting tragedies on any social issue a gross exploitation and misdirection. And we all know very well the money needed to correct or restore infrastructures would not be used in a timely manner, no matter what the social or political issues are, even if we could predict every problem to the exact time it would happen. Something or someone will always screw up the solution no matter what the other issues are. So, using this woman's death for political purposes over a situation that is as natural as aging is reprehensible.

Disgusting Manny,

Merlot

in New York City,every building 7 stories or taller has to be inspected by a qualified engineer every 5 years.

The law was prompted by the death of Grace Gold, a Barnard College freshman, who was struck in 1979 by masonry that fell from a Columbia University building at Broadway and 115th Street.
Enforcement of the measure was spurred in 1982 by the death of Mayda Alsace, a young Legal Aid Society lawyer, who was hit by bricks that fell from 66 Court Street, near Livingston Street in downtown Brooklyn.

Peel street now fully open

Peel street (between De Maisonneuve & Sherbrooke) was re-opened to traffic today. The engineer's report concluded that the building in which 'Mikasa' is housed (Marriott Residence Inn building) is safe.

Peel street merchants in that area are rejoincing since they were blaming drop-offs in sales to the fact part of the street had been closed to traffic since the infamous incident.
