Il Fatto Quotidiano: Cade un albero in Piazza Risorgimento a Milano, tre persone ferite. L’intervento dei vigili del fuoco
Un grosso ramo di un albero è caduto in Piazza Risorgimento a Milano poco prima delle 10 di lunedì mattina. Tre persone sono rimaste coinvolte nell’incidente e sono state portati in ospedale per accertamenti.
Si tratta di un ragazzo di 21 anni, ferito in modo lieve, una ragazza di 20 anni e un 41enne originario del Bangladesh che verserebbe in condizioni più critiche rispetto agli altri due. I vigili del fuoco di Benedetto Marcello giunti sul posto hanno rimosso il grosso ramo e hanno messo in sicurezza l’area. Sul posto c’è anche la polizia locale, mentre sono in corso i rilievi per chiarire la causa del crollo.
I pompieri stanno procedendo alla rimozione dell’albero, tagliando progressivamente i rami per liberare l’area e consentire la messa in sicurezza. Sono in corso accertamenti per chiarire le cause del crollo. Lo scorso weekend a causa del maltempo che ha interessato la Lombardia, i Vigili del fuoco hanno effettuato complessivamente 195 interventi.

A tree fell in Piazza Risorgimento in Milan, three people injured. The fire department responded.
A large branch from a tree fell in Piazza Risorgimento in Milan shortly before 10:00 AM on Monday morning. Three people were involved in the accident and were taken to hospital for checks.
They are a 21-year-old man, with minor injuries, a 20-year-old woman, and a 41-year-old man originally from Bangladesh who is in more critical condition than the other two. Firefighters from Benedetto Marcello who arrived on the scene removed the large branch and secured the area. Local police are also at the scene, and investigations are underway to determine the cause of the collapse.
The firefighters are proceeding with the removal of the tree, progressively cutting off branches to clear the area and allow for safety measures. Investigations are ongoing to clarify the causes of the collapse. Over the past weekend, due to the bad weather that affected Lombardy, the Fire Department carried out a total of 195 interventions.

These conditions are not accidental by-products of climate change; they are structured outcomes of an economic model that externalises both ecological and reproductive costs. The global economy continues to operate on the fiction that natural resources and care work are inexhaustible and, crucially, free

Each of these is a product of capital seeking profit, whether through commodity export, cheap energy or infrastructure contracts, with the ecological and social costs displaced onto coastal communities who had no say in the decisions. A homestead garden does not touch shrimp export economics. A community water plant does not renegotiate the Ganges Water Treaty

The study found construction workers have almost no wage or injury protection, with compensation for workplace deaths capped at Tk 2 lakh, often unpaid. Construction and transport workers reported the highest exposure to hazards. Among transport workers, 94 percent reported dust exposure, 93 percent noise, and 89 percent heat
