York had a fatality of a construction worker involved in the construction process. While this collapse was obviously a very serious incident, nobody died--that makes a difference.

Talking to people using similar equipment to what toppled at York, I heard that what happened at York just shouldn't have happened, simply because they just shouldn't have been doing what they were doing, when it toppled. So it comes down to gross incompetence.
Even, if this is gross incompetence, it's just the demolition sub, who can quickly be replaced. Not that there appears to be much more to demolish at that site ...

buy they could have. The construction of stations has just started and this happens. Does that inspire confidence in the construction?

what does that say about the contractor who hired the subcontractor?

Not much.
On the other hand, it's a major demolition contractor, who have done much, much, larger projects than an old fast-food restaurant.

^I keep looking out my balcony at Yonge & Davisville trying to determine the source of some all hours noise. Nothing special going on in the ttc yard. I guess it is probably Dennis I am hearing?

Definitely not. If you lived on a lower floor of a building adjacent to the TBMs you'd hear something, but Davisville is way too far.

I am amazed that we have had 2 pages of discussion about this and nobody has blamed Bombardier yet or quoted the Simpsons monorail song.

Unknown to many, there's also another major tunneling operation in your vicinity (undergrounding of a hydro transmission line). But like Eglinton, this one would also be too far for you to hear anything. It's roughly at Shaftsbury, well south of St Clair, and obviously beyond earshot of Yonge/Davisville.
*60-75m below ground, and about 3m in diameter. This is pretty sizable. More info: http://www.hydroone.com/Projects/Midtown/Documents/Midtown Panels for meeting.pdf
