Tornado caused the collapse of the Amazon warehouse in the United States, 6 people died, and the families of the victims: employees are still forbidden to leave after receiving the alert

In Illinois, USA, a large Amazon warehouse collapsed during the tornado disaster, killing 6 people. In an interview with the media, the families of the victims revealed that before the tornado, employees in the warehouse had received a disaster alert, but the management prohibited the employees from leaving the warehouse. Currently, the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the collapsed warehouse and Amazon.com.

According to a report on the “Russia Today” website on the 14th, Larry Foden was one of the six people killed in the collapse of the warehouse. Before the warehouse collapsed, Verden sent a message to his girlfriend that they had received a tornado warning, but the management did not let employees leave the warehouse. Soon after the message was sent, the warehouse collapsed in a tornado. Verdon’s girlfriend said in an interview that if Amazon allows employees to leave the warehouse when Verdon sends a message, Verdon still has about 20 minutes to return home safely.

Amazon has been criticized by the U.S. government for launching a security investigation

After the accident, Amazon was criticized on social media, including former U.S. Secretary of Labor Reich. Critics pointed out that this tornado disaster had issued an early warning, and Amazon should not have asked employees to go to work in such weather conditions in the first place. Some comments pointed out that these employees who died were not caused by disasters and accidents, but by disasters and accidents. Died from corporate greed.

It is understood that the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration will launch a six-month investigation to determine whether the Amazon warehouse “has any structural problems” and whether the company violated workplace safety when the warehouse collapsed.
