The supervisor should have faced a criminal charge for encouraging her to lie to police...
Something! Conspiracy to obstruct justice, accomplice after the fact….I don’t know, but something.
Apparently we need a lot more oversight with these employees .......who polices them ? It sounds like they purposely play games with people's lives literally ! 😭 So we need surveillance immediately !
@@peggypasson8794 It sounds like there's already surveillance in the form of cameras. But all cameras can do is provide evidence of the employees incompetence after the fact. What they really need is an employee who actually does the job correctly and adheres to safety standards. And it sounds like there's already a supervisor but I don't know where she is or what she actually does.
hey we cant hold all blacks accountable for their crimes otherwise we would have to admit we made a horrible mistake
Agreed.
I can’t believe they pay 10 bucks an hour to operate a bridge and hire someone with a criminal background and doesn’t get drug tested.
That's why they pay so little - helps them avoid background checks & all that: I hope the company is sued
I bet you get they get a minimum of $30 per hour to staff that bridge but they skim as much as they could get away with for their own profit. 😬
Florida only pays 12 or 13. I applied to one thank god i got a job paying 20 an hour for less work
Ya pay peanuts,,, ya get garbage
@@erickiyoshiphillips2323 how are you surviving on just 20 dollars an hour? That's onlly a little over 38 thousand a year. I just don't get it.
I worked for the Palm Beach County Medical Examiners office for ten years.
My son worked with me, and we are the guys who took care of this lady.
I think about her, and the guy that tried to save anytime I go over the bridge.
I think about that man who tried to save her and I hope he was allowed a victim impact statement at sentencing as well because he is a victim, too. Imagine trying to save another human and instead having to witness their death. Poor poor man.
I forgot to mention - wow. I bet YOU have some STORIES!! I'd love your channel!! I am not so much morbid as I am a realistic/curious. I lost people close to me in some damn graphic ways when I was really young. It opened that thing in my mind that I guess stays closed in most people. So, I actually wanted to be a funeral director for years.
Thank God there are people like you in this world.
This is such a sad and wicked case.
@@a.lhatfield7375I also want to run a funeral home....wanna start 1 together that's creative and affordable for people?????
Thanks for just caring ❤
10 dollars an hour to be in charge of such an incredibly risky job is absolutely unbelievable and insane
What? I can't think of too many jobs that would be easier than this one. Look out the window and push 5 buttons! Not rocket science or risky. And how would paying the operator more money make her any less lazy or stupid? Explain that one if you have an answer. smh
@@KSparks80 the lives many people in the public are in your hands at 10 dollars an hour. Absolutely insane
@@birdworldist So if we paid this bridge lady $20/hour, this wouldn't have happened? lol
@@KSparks80 there’s many reasons why yes: if the operator of this dangerous bridge was paid more, the less likely that there would have been an accident. For one thing, there would have been more competition for that job. Better candidates would have applied. For another example, there would have probably been more training required and acceptance by the operator. And third, if you’re paid more, you’re more likely tolikely to do better work to protect your job.
@@birdworldist If they made the bridge taller, there'd be no need to open it. If they built a tunnel, there wouldn't have been a bridge to open. A different operator may not have been as lazy/stupid as this one....Wow! By changing the facts of what actually happened, as you did, I can make a better outcome, too! But my question was "How would paying this operator more money change the outcome"? Not some "other" operator. This one. How much training is need to look out at the bridge, announce that it's opening, then push 5 buttons. 20 minutes? 6 months? 4 years? Need a college degree in "Bridge Opening" sciences?
Hiring someone with a history of misbehaviour and violence is looking for "accidents" to happen.
Unfortunately, for that kind of pay that's about all they're going to get.
Cool it with racism willwong1234
A drug user, what can we expect?
it was nepotism
Unfortunately in this economy that’s all you’re going to get for 10 dollars an hour. Teens won’t even work for that anymore.
I also feel really badly for the bystander who tried to help but could not. I'm sure the image plays in his mind all the time. I pray he can find peace with himself and knows it wasn't his fault :,( so sad.
What a living nightmare.
I was having the same thought. He tried to help! It must haunt him, even though it wasn't his fault at all. I know anyone and everyone claims PTSD nowadays, so I rarely admit this, but I have diagnosed PTSD from a very traumatic experience (was ten years ago, so it's not as severe as it was, I worked hard in therapy) but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he experiences PTSD symptoms like flashbacks and vivid nightmares, and feels a lot of survivors guilt for not being able to save her. I hope he also sues the company in charge of that bridge and gets a good settlement to cover his own medical expenses.
$10.5 an hour? No educational requirements? Don't bridge operators require electric mechanical tech education and require to physically walk on the bridge to inspect it??? Something not right with the bridge company.
@@johnnygoodman2003 Its run private now...use to be a county job
@@johnnygoodman2003 Labor is an expense and cutting expenses increases corporate profits. Remember, the only responsibility of a modern American corporation is to increase shareholder value and to pay larger dividends. To that end, middle managers and CEO's get bigger bonuses and valuable stock options whenever the stock price goes up.
The State failed Carol Wrights family. What a horrible way to go out. That "bridge tender" should have gone to prison for killing Carol via gross negligence that lead to someones death.
If it was a white male operator and a black female victim it would've been life
@@LegendLengthYou better believe it.
@@LegendLength Black priviledge...I don't want to hear a single thing anymore about reparations or what happened hundreds of years ago. This is straight legal-stupidity
You’d think they’d pay more or even administer tests before hiring. Quality over quantity. Might as well hire the kids this country is fighting to have work
@@LegendLength Statistics says otherwise

It'd certainly be difficult for me to have kept a poker face while saying that!😅
He's a pretty dull guy, imo. Intelligent, but bland as can be.

Because of her negligence.
Right as always, Moss. 💔
Literally her job. Guessing she should have never been in that position in the first place. City will have to pay for her big time.
I agree. But you gotta remember god is in control, and we can’t understand his will and plans for his children. But luckily if you don’t like ya local clergy’s answers, yuh always have after you die to personally ask Jesus.
Why wasn't Carol the supervisor charged with tampering with evidence and witness tampering?
"We need more Tishas as airline pilots and air traffic controllers." -DEI
This has nothing to do with diversity and everything to do with a poorly supervised, and lazy irresponsible individual likely hired in the midst of a labor shortage. . Had the bridge tender been white, what would your excuse be? 😳
"There was no way she was ever going to be arrested again."
"Tisha was arrested again."
🤔🤔 😮

As soon as he started to say that stuff about how she'd take advantage of this light sentence to rebuild her life, I knew where he was going to go with it! Gotta love Dr. Grande's sense of humour.

@@FrankieDee-hc8ji you cant just blame DEI for everything you know.
Poor victim, a talented industrious lady just enjoying her senior years, remaining active and vital as best she could. The other woman was hostile and didn’t care about anyone else, too resentful about her own life to show regard for anyone else. And anyone who abuses animals should never have responsibility over animals or humans.
Sometimes old people haven't heard from relatives for years. But the relatives start caring after lawyers race to their door.

Oh yeah, her abuse of a poor dog. Just to prove she is a worthless human! She makes me sick!
Her level of apathy is HORRIFYING. 😮 Poor Carol, may she Rest in Peace.
I can’t even imagine how many people have died like this and never reported or seen by anyone
Probably not too many, there would be a dead body that can’t really be ignored.. maybe if its a homeless person, with no family or friends to file a missing person report & the body fell in the water and quickly sank and never resurfaced… but these draw bridges are usually in fairly high traffic boating areas, typically span over waterways less an mile wide, usually surrounded by a dense population of waterfront properties, parks, cameras & people… & dead bodies typically become bloated after sometime and float to eventually become found.

Work in a hospital and you will have second thoughts of going to one.
Literally, her only job was to press 5 buttons, walk out on the balcony, and make an announcement over the loud speaker, and she couldn't even be bothered to do that. She had a cush job and was too lazy to even do the bare-minimum. I'm glad she ended up in jail after violating parole. She deserves far more than what she received.
Not literally. Actually!

When there is already a bias and an attitude of entitlement by both the hiring and mentally unstable ( narcissistic personality trait and ECT ECT) the expectation is exactly what happened. SHE ALREADY HAD "MULTIPLE CHANCES" (WHAT JUDGE! "gave" her another chance?!?) &WHY!) *And we wonder why planes are falling out of the sky? WAKE UP! -you are not entitled.
Intent is important. This is more the companies fault.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the dignity that you always afford victims in your videos. A story like this lends itself to sensationalism and clickbait, however, you instead centred the very real experience and humanity of Carol Wright. I believe that you have done her and her family justice.
$10.50 per hour in 2022 to operate a bridge seems crazy to me. I know you said the job isn’t difficult by any means, but you have people’s lives at stake. Love the podcast!
Agree! This job should fall under the the category of a park ranger type position. They should understand simple bridge mechanics, all types of emergency situations, and intermediate first aid.
Minimum wage = minimum effort. Surprised Pikachu face.
I don't blame Tinasha for being lazy. She can't help herself. The company is 100% to blame. The only kinds of people who are going to take that job are fools and drug addicts.
If the company paid $25/hr they could hire someone who was actually competent and would take the job seriously.
South Florida wages suck ass- they always pay the bare minimum for everything( i live down here)
$10 an hour for someone in charge of public safety on a bridge crossing. As they say you get what you pay for

That's why she doesn't take things seriously.
White male privilege oh wait
Am I the only one who is shocked that a person in charge opening a bridge could be paid so little & have such a lousy work history! That is such a potential life threatening responsibility! I am still horrified that a lady like that would be considered trustworthy to have the lives of those using the bridge in her hands!!! Pathetic😡
Social justice…
@@CrocodileWhispersif it works for the police is should work for tisha 🤣 let’s give everybody light time
No disrespect but you guys don't have high requirements for certain jobs within the USA. $10 an hour for a drawbridge operator? Then people wonder why accidents like this happen? Here in Canada, I do believe, you have to be a federal employee of Parks Canada to work a job like that. How about raising the bar a little bit.
I agree. That's how Trump became president here, because it requires no experience, education, etc.
You only have to be born in the US, have lived here for at least 14 years, and be 35 or older.

My sincere condolences to Carol’s family. I’ve actually had nightmares of this happening, for Carol to have lived it is just heartbreaking.
Blows my mind that someone with such a background would be given such a responsible position in the first place. The company running the bridge was also reckless employing her and should have been on trial too.
Best comment on this video imo. You're absolutely right, that company should have stood trial and been so severely punished as to go bankrupt and close their business forever. Period.
Yes, you are so right.. This is similar to the old railroad switcher jobs; where the track is switched by a lever pushed at a specific time. One wrong move could derail the train.
These jobs involve tremendous responsibility, and we all assume the ones in charge are highly qualified.
Carole sounds like an amazing woman; I aspired to go into animation at one time. I’ll be looking for her name on some of the cartoon credits. Condolences to her family and friends..
They would probably be sued for not hiring her.
@@phillipp5538 This is what I thought immediately.
The company should be held accountable civilly. Money helps prevent hardship as the family grieves, which will obviously be a long time.
79 years old...poor lady..it's NOT a lot to ask for to ensure safety measures...horrible woman killed and only thought of herself..NO remorse..abused dog TOO...vile...
I mean, she lived to be 79. Not saying this wasn't a tragedy but that's quite an old age and it seems like she had a rich and interesting life.
@@youssef16844 What point are you trying to make?
@@youssef16844 That's a disgusting thing to say. "oh well, she was old, so it doesn't really matter"??? Yes she was elderly. That doesn't mean it's okay that she faced absolute terror and an horrific death due to someone else's callousness. You can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat our most vulnerable in society. Children, the disabled, and elderly people are more vulnerable and deserve to be protected just as much as anyone else.
I'm guessing you're a young teen then. Hopefully as you age, you'll gain some empathy and wisdom as you see your grandparents, parents and other elderly relatives go through old age and pass away. I lost both my parents last year, at 80 and 85, and I desperately wish I could have had more time with them. Even if you don't personally care, you can bet that their families are grieving their loss, especially when their life was stolen from them. Your lack of compassion and flippancy towards elderly people being killed makes you come across as being just as twisted as the bridge tender.
@@Rocco-bm9cf Sorry, I replied to the wrong comment. But yeah, 79 years old is a pretty decent life time, especially considering most of her peers are probably dead too. It's sad how she died but not when she died.
@@scarletamazon3455 Like I said before, it's definitely tragic but she made it until 79. That's a pretty decent age to die. It's sad how she died but not when she died.
As someone who grew up watching Hana Barbera, it saddens me to know someone involved died so tragically.
I love a comprehensive follow-up story! This story has been on ny mind since the news broke. Thank you for all the visuals and post-accident accounts. Your assessment of the drawbridge attendant was spot-on!
Yeah sure...a bunch of charges stuck to her when she probably didn't have ANYTHING to do with them!!! When is this B.S. going to end so I can get some sleep!!!!
I’m retired from a maritime job. In my experience a lot of bridge operators are passive aggressive jerks. They love to pretend they don’t hear you on the radio or just make you wait for hours on end in a very narrow channel for no apparent reason.
It's interesting you say that. I work for a major class 1 railroad in the U.S., and there is a certain bridge that we cross daily. I've heard stories of the bridge tender there attempting to poison one of her coworkers and actually keeping her job.
Typical government workers, frankly.
Dipsticks keep hiring and retaining these people, I'll never know why. There are plenty of hardworking people who would love to have such an easy job, but somehow it's the douchebags that always seem to get them
The MD of Florida Drawbridges Inc is equally culpable. Until the people who are ultimately responsible for these tragedies face consequences, nothing will change. $10 an hour for a job where life and death is on the line is criminal.
In my 41 years on this planet, I’ve learned one thing over and over again. Any kind of power or control, no matter how minor, and it just warps people.
I recently had an issue with a bus driver who refused to pull over and allow vehicles to pass on our country road. I passed her legally and the next day, she left the yellow warning lights on the entire stretch, even though there were no stops on that stretch. I passed her again, and she reported it to the police who actually came to my job. It is not illegal to pass a bus with yellow lights, so nothing came of it. The next day, Friday, she drove at 10 mph with the red lights and stop sign out the entire stretch, causing the other lane’s traffic to stop as she coasted by.
Why? Because that little bit of control and power made her feel powerful and important. And I was disrespecting her authority and control by not obediently sitting behind her. That’s why we should ALWAYS minimize or eliminate power as much as possible.
I think the worst thing about this is the complete lack of remorse for the results of her negligent action. I think that, considering this lack of remorse, she should have served at least a few years for her criminal negligence. And I wonder why the supervisor was not charged at all? She is clearly guilty of conspiracy to cover up a crime.
@The1 Doktor: Bc the Supervisor knows/blows someone higher up the Goobermint food chain. Obviously, the Supervisor KNEW that safety protocols were actively being ignored and suborned perjury/lying to cops. That's a slamdunk case for the Prosecution; except, the State didn't prosecute. You do the math.
@@geoffgeoff3333 Yup, probably typical "progressive" world order crap. It's not about what you do and who you are, it's about who you do and what you are.
I no longer expect justice to happen. Seems lawlessness wins all the time.
@@beverlymccollum8861 This is a sad observation, but true. I gained some hope after the Shander-Ark case, when both Shanda and Paul faced real justice, perfectly stated by the judge. But usually, the "justice system" is a joke.
As a teacher, I encounter this level of negligence frequently. I have asthma, and I'm always torn between telling the kids up front, and explaining that they can't apply personal hygiene products (perfume, deodorant, lotion, axe body spray) while within my classroom, or waiting until it's an issue and then bringing it up.
This year, my new freshmen get a level of unholy joy in deliberately using products that they KNOW can send me to the ER. It's funny to them. When I speak about it to the class as a whole, they find it hilarious. Even some of the best kids think it's funny. I tell them that to find it humorous that someone else does something to harm an individual is deeply depraved.
In years gone by, I've had a few kids who were malicious, but most of them are just thoughtless, and do apologize. This year was the first time I actually considered filing charges.
Oh that poor man who tried to hold on and save her... I really hope he is doing ok today ❤

I remember that crime, such negligence and incompetence. I guess when people haven't been held responsible for their past actions, they continue to offend. The Supervisor should have been held accountable too. RIP Carol Wright.
I live in West Palm Beach, and am very familiar with this bridge. although everything you said about the bridge tender is true, there is one glaring elephant-in-the-room aspect of this event that for some strange reason NO ONE talks about (including the news outlets and courts, as well as yourself Dr. Grande). When the bridge is opening, there is a 100db CLANGING BELL on both sides of the bridge. It is impossible NOT to hear it. The bridge does not open for at least 30 seconds after the CLANGING BELL starts. Carol HAD to have heard it. All she needed to do was turn around and walk 18 feet. I believe (as do most others I've spoken with about this) she CHOSE not to turn around because she didn't want to wait the 10 minutes it takes for the bridge to open, allow passage, and close. I believe Carol probably felt the bridge tender would just have to suck it up, and wait for her to cross the remaining 180 feet of the span before opening it. Carol wasn't deaf. She HAD to have heard that 100db CLANGING BELL. she could have saved her own life by simply turning around and taking 10 steps in the opposite direction before the bridge opened. WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THAT??????? I can tell you EVERYONE HATES waiting for that bridge to open and close. Impatience is rampant down here. This entire tragedy could have been avoided. Carol had PLENTY of time to get off the span. Please tell your viewers that part of the story.
Irrelevant. No amount of blaming the victim is going to convince people that her death was her own fault.
@@lemond2007 I can appreciate your perspective, but the question still remains, why didn't she just walk the 18 feet back to the rest of her life? What part of clanging bells confused her?
@@BassPlayerExtra300S It's not her responsibility to turn around, and there should have been no reasonable expectation that the bridge would rise with her still on it. In any other situation, the operator would have waited for her to cross. Once the bridge started moving, it was already too late.
_"The bridge does not open for at least 30 seconds after the CLANGING BELL starts?"_ So, is the bell automatically sounded, or does it sound as the result of one of the (5) button pushes from the operator, therefore making it something that obviously uncaring and incompetent operator could have overlooked, or maybe not liked to sound because maybe it bothered her? Had a bell been clanging I'd think that would probably be one of the first things the witnesses on the scene would have reported. I know I would have said, _"The bell was clanging, but the lady didn't stop/turn back."_
_"She HAD to have heard that 100db CLANGING BELL."_ - Not if it wasn't sounding.
_"Carol had PLENTY of time to get off the span."_ - So you're suggesting she committed suicide, then?
The woman operator lied about almost everything that could be lied about, i.e., number of bridge openings, making an announcement on the loudspeaker/P. A. system, having walked outside to visually make sure the bridge was clear, etc., so there would obviously be absolutely *NO* reason to believe *ANYTHING* she said.
In your ridiculous scenario, the operator is *STILL* responsible. Let's say Carol didn't care if she lived or died, or, like most 79-year-olds, just like living on the edge and enjoyed taking risks . So, even though _"She HAD to have heard that 100db CLANGING BELL,"_ she decided to let the bridge tender, *"suck it up,"* and kept going. See, had the woman done her job and walked a few steps outside to visually observe that the bridge was clear, she would have seen that it obviously wasn't, and wouldn't have opened it.
The woman should have been investigated for *First Degree Murder.*
Are you perhaps the boyfriend of the lazy slug operator? Maybe you have another reason to attempt to defend her?
This was 100% avoidable. Had the woman done her job as required, it would not have happened, period. Anyone that can't be bothered to seek medical treatment for their own dog is a 'certain' kind of person.
You really didn't didn't think your comment though before posting it, did you?
@@BassPlayerExtra300S Why didn't the operator do her job and *VISUALLY* check to make sure the bridge was clear?
Imagine taking someones life, lying about it and only getting probation and community service. Insane.
Infuriating. Absolutely infuriating.
While I understand the sentiment, it isn't that surprising. At trial the bridge operators procedures, training and low pay would have made her very sympathetic. She may not have even been convicted. Since there was no evidence of any malice, the plea agreement was probably the best they were going to get.
You know why, it's privilege
@@nunyabiznes33 Protected species.

There’s absolutely no excuse for opening a bridge with pedestrians on it.

Accident happen you dont expect someone not make it prob just glanced out looking
I was watching with sorrow for Carol, but shock turned to outrage
when I saw how close Carol was to the tower. “Tisha” had no idea of the responsibility her job carried.
The criminal court is a flat out joke! I hope Carol’s family gets every cent of that setlement!
The judge gave a merciful sentence to a woman who had no mercy and no remorse.
When this judge stand in front of ultimate judgment he’ll have to answer for that lack of judgment.
It’s scary to think this woman was in charge of taking care of elderly sick people in their home. Who knows what kind of neglect those people suffered.
It happens more often than you think. A LOT of people working as Home Health Aids are sociopaths and psychopaths.
And you absolutely know they were negligent. Infuriating 🤬
I thought the same thing.
A lot of psychopaths get into the healthcare industry.... and also law enforcement.
Basically, any position that gives you power over people and their lives.
Human life is cheap here.
Let’s not forget the brave man who tried to help Carol. How horrible he must feel…
Dr Grande you’re content is so pleasant, respectful and extremely informative. Thank you!
Absolutely tragic. I was astounded when you said $10 an hour, shocking wage for a job with such responsibilities.
When Dr.G. showed how close the tower was to the accident area, my jaw dropped open in utter shock. 11:40 -11:50
Same! It’s beyond comprehension.
The screaming back and forth between the woman about to die and the man trying to save her was literally 20 feet beyond the window of the tower. The prosecution was incompetent for not putting someone in the killers chair in the tower with a recorder and having two people scream where it happened.
Whoever hired these clowns need their bureaucracy disbanded
This is tge nature of beurocracy, unfortunately.
Only the best and brightest for 10 dollars an hour.
Thanks Dr G, you have interesting cases. Your dry yet enlightening and subtly humorous analysis grabs me and keeps me interested to see where the story concludes.
Dr. G manages to find so much information about both the victim and perpetrator. It's really neat.
This incompetent was only hired for this job because her boyfriend’s mother had the connection to get her the job. The supervisor is ultimately the most to blame.
This job belongs to a teenager or a retiree
For $10.00 an hour, what can you expect??
@@middle-agedgamer7375
Government jobs always come with great benefits packages. You don't deserve more money than that for such an easy job where you mostly just sit on your ass playing on your phone all day.
@@ANPC-pi9vu I guess it's a good job for a retiree or college student
I would go as far as saying The supervisor is ultimately the most to blame for raising a son that brings that type of GF home...
So sad. What an end to a productive and successful life. RIP, Carol.
Sounded more like a lonely, single, childless life to me.
She is WHY Prosecutors should NOT commute or downgrade a perp's charges!
Thank you for covering this case doc. This case is so upsetting. My father is 81 and the hardest working man I've ever known. He was a contractor for 50 years and built some of the most beautiful homes I've ever seen; including the 5 bedroom, 4 bath family home he raised his family in. Even though he's retired, he still gets up early everyday, puts his boots on, and begins working on some kind of project. When it's spring and summer, he's tending to his honeybees. He's been providing top quality honey for as far back as I can remember for friends and family. I can't imagine something like this happening to him because some lazy idiot didn't bother to check if the bridge was safe to open. It was her job! Truly heartbreaking! I'm absolutely disgusted. Tricia was completely irresponsible and negligent. I can't even imagine the terror that poor woman endured!😢
Have you ever worked in America? Bc sucking at your job unfortunately is not punishable by jail. but in cases of gross negligence sure. She may not have gotten a lengthy sentence but her life, in affect is over.
your father sounds fantastic
It never ceases to amaze me, the fact that people will still lie, even when something like the bridge is monitored by many camera angles.
Panic will do that to you. Reflex
Had a dishwasher at a job steal a customers laptop. There were surveillance cameras all over the restaurant. Dude lied about it anyway. Video literally showed him picking it up, walking thru the dining room, through the back of the house, and out the backdoor with it.
They don't have a clue that cell phone records can be subpoenaed They think that if they delete a text it's gone forever. They think that security camera video can't be used against them if they don't give permission. Yanno, low IQ people.
Those people refuse any accountability and are known liars
Some people are too stupid for certain types of jobs
"One thing was for certain. Tisha was gonna stay crime free from this point forward.... There was no way she was ever gonna be arrested again..."
"Tisha was arrested again."
Dude you are like the epitome of dry humor.
says "Scooby Doo, where are you?" with total calm and a straight face...this man is the low key savage of youtube
What an insult to the victim's memory and her family, that negligent lady deserved at least 4 or 5 years in prison, instead she got away with it and continued violating the law
Many such cases!
I live near the bridge of lions in St. Augustine, Florida. This is horrific. Carols death was absolutely avoidable.
I’m about to cross that bridge on my way to work this morning, that’s wild
Something always going on with that bridge 😂😂 Eitherway DuuuuuuvvvvvvvvaaaaaLLLLLLLL county jax fl n the house
I’ve crossed that bridge many times.
Medically speaking the gate operator was what we term a" useless lazy bastard..
All those prior charges...how unfortunate a criminal like that can get a safety-related position.
AND the supervisor...accessory after the fact! Should the supervisor not be charged?
But why did Carol not heed the signs , blinking red lights & sirens that the bridge was opening…both are at fault here. Carol should’ve paid attention and Tisha should’ve done her job better. RIP to the deceased
@@love_reka_777Sounds like she was already on the bridge when things started moving.
@@love_reka_777she was already on the bridge, she was 18 feet onto the bridge. The real question is how did that woman not see Carol?
@@love_reka_777 I don't know what the checklist looked like, but I assume you'd activate the warning signals and then PROTECT THE PUBLIC, even if they're deaf, senile, or stupid. I was in a safety-related field; it was 100% the operator's fault. I tested something wrong once and NOTIFIED EVERYBODY involved and did NOT LIE. Lying like a criminal could have got me fired and possibly charged!
The bridge is operated by a private company. Private companies are free to hire and fire anyone they want. Florida is a right to work state. Why do you hate capitalism?
Hiring standards. She should never have been hired to do that job. The blame goes way higher up to government officials.
It was a $10 an hour job. They got what they paid for
@@MissMiaAfroGoddess How much would you need to be paid to not kill people?
Only the best and brightest. The supervisor sounded like a real winner as well.
@@MimiRAM0NE- Low paying jobs are more likely to attract people who don't care and/or don't have decent critical thinking skills.
@@MimiRAM0NE
well, they are talking about negligence not a contract to kill.
This is the promise of DEI hiring. Everything was wrong about the person whose job it was to maintain safety on the bridge.
When I lived in Ft. Lauderdale a woman was killed in the same way on a drawbridge near where I worked on the 17th causeway. She was pregnant when she died from this accident. It was tragic.
The fact this woman couldn’t even manage to keep a dog safe and healthy should demonstrate exactly how much responsibility Tisha should be trusted with- the amount being zero. Carol would still be alive if a different person had been manning the bridge that day. I can’t imagine how terrifying the last moments were for that poor woman. Her family has to be utterly devastated.
I cant imagine Carols fear. Lazy workers cause accidents all the time
$10 hr 🙃SHAME😢
@@arisrosario5573x what she was worth.
Medical errors is the 3rd leading cause of death in the US.
If those charges had not been dropped, she would not have been able to be a bridge tender and Carol the victim would still be alive. Thank you, lenient District Attorneys, for NOT prosecuting criminal behavior.
What I do not understand is why she was given only probation for killing someone and then lying about it.
Would be fairly inexpensive to install a detector to prevent the bridge from opening when certain sections are occupied
A simple beam at each end of the bridge segment, you break the beam getting on, and if the second beam is not tripped, the bridge would not raise....like a block system on Railroads.
@@sommebuddy One bird.
There should be cameras of every angle for the operator to also check on a monitor. Duh.
I was hoping there would be some sort of opening or escape path where she fell into.
There are lots of people like Carol Wright, unfortunately. We can also blame the company for hiring incompetent staff and not supervising them.
Her supervisor was just as bad as her, telling her to lie.
Sadly, there are more people like “Tisha” 😞.
Or maybe they can’t hire more qualified workers for 10/hour
They want the government kick back for hiring a minority.
In this day and age, there should be a number of fail safes in place to prevent the bridge from opening if someone is on the walkway. Even if someone is doing their job correctly, relying on a “yeah, I walked out onto the balcony and looked around” leaves a lot of room for human error.
That simply isn't possible. People have listed multiple suggestions here in this comment section and each one has been absolutely terrible.
How terrified she must have been. A horrible tragedy! Poor carol. 😭 prayers to her family 🙏
never got enough time in prison to start with...pathetic sentence she should have never had the job in the first place her BF mom got her the job....
That's their privilege
@@nunyabiznes33 Yet they lament. Sad
There’s no way a 79-year-old person (male or female) could have done something to survive in this situation. The victim clearly must have had a decent physical endurance for her age, since she regularly used her bike or walked, but it would be impossible to imagine that she, feeling desperate, scared and confused, could think quickly to save her life. Poor soul. How did the bridge tender did not hear her screams if she was only a few feet away?
I think she did it on purpose.
Probably on her phone
Sealed windows, traffic noise?
And on her phone.
Probably wearing headphones... and on her phone.
Did it on purpose
The fact that her supervisor sent her a text telling her to make damned sure to tell the police she went out on the balcony three times, that suggests to me that the supervisor knew Tisha was in the habit of being lazy.
I’ve been in that scenario while visiting Ft Lauderdale, I was crossing on foot when it started to raise. I froze. Luckily there was a woman on foot approaching the bridge who encouraged me to hurry off. I was in my mid sixties with a bad hip at the time but I got myself off of there in time.
I had a nightmare throughout my childhood and teenage years, that the bridge opened and my family’s old Buick was hanging by the back wheels on the open bridge. I always woke up when we were falling. To this day, I’m very careful and very aware of drawbridges. Oh, once decades ago, a car full of old ladies, was caught between the two drawbridges going up. It was in St. Pete. The photo made the front page everywhere. The firefighters had to go help, and had to go up and get each old lady, 80+ out of the hanging car.
I've always had a fear of these types of bridges, too. After this sad story, my fears don't seem so irrational anymore. Poor Carol.
F! That’s scary! The bridge is already far above the water. Then you get lifted up further and stuck in a car there barely holding on above the water?! NOPE! 😖
I know how that is. Both me and my brother used to have reoccurring nightmares about being on different types of bridges in the wrong spots while they were opening, or driving underneath them on rickety maintenance catwalks or something. Or even just driving straight off of them. Or sometimes we'd be on a narrow bridge that was starting to slant down to a 50-ft drop down to the water, and we would stop and there would be cars behind us blowing the horn for us to go. I don't know why we had these dreams so much or what they meant but they were scary as hell.
Drawbridges are bizarre when you think about it
- amazing that they work most of the time.
I used to have that exact same nightmare..and variations with tall impossibly steep bridges...so creepy!!
I'm not surprised she was engrossed in her phone while all this was happening right outside from her.
Thank you. Good presentation.
Heartbreaking, thanks for covering this.
That wig alone tells you she doesn’t GAF about anything! 😂😂😂😂
Ayo 😂 Lord forgive me 🙏🏾
@@afenismama may he forgive us both 😂 😂 😂
She’s only 45? Wow.
It must have been all that stress of remembering which 5 buttons to press a few times a day which caused her to age so prematurely
Right? I'm 41, and this creature looks like she could be my mother.
If you put somebody in that position and pay the $10 an hour....that's the type of person who you get. That woman is despicable.
What a lifetime of crime does to a mf
@susanbennett9062 they could have been paying her $100 an hour and she still would have been exactly the same.
A good example of this is the "super mayor" of Dolton.
Thanks for giving us your time DuuuuuuvvvvvvvvaaaaaLLLLLLLL county jax fl USA ❤ Rip Carol 😢
Spot on analysis, doc.
What the fuck are they doing paying someone $10/hr for that much responsibility???
“No one prepares for this type of scenario.”. Well, thanks to this video I now am prepared to stand on the vertical support! Thanks Dr. Grande!
Me too! Everyone needs to be educated about these bridges and how to survive if this ever happens again.
When your running a draw bridge, this is literally the number one scenario you should be trained for. lol
We have one opening bridge in London, Tower Bridge was built around the 18 hundreds. River traffic has to book 24 hrs ahead for opening.
I like that he gives us a short rundown of Hannah Barbera .
To be honest, in Florida, I've never seen a bridge controller step onto the balcony before opening a bridge.
Same here in Miami
I was just thinking the same thing. And I pass 2 draw bridges a day.
Only once or twice have I as a pedestrian, boater and in a car. And it was usually after it was open.
Me either! Lived there for 55 plus years. In Jax, St. Aug., Pensacola, etc.
Absolutely! It’s a republican dream.
Disgusting.
I'm 70 myself so I'm sad whenever I hear about the untimely demise of my fellow senior citizens.
Yes. They make ALL this way and then boom.
I hear 'ya. The heard is thinning out quickly.
"Untimely demise"?
You boomers are literally at the end of your ropes.
@@asdfgh-uh6cyIt was an untimely death because it wasn't from natural causes. You might be old some day too and realise how hard it is, so please don't be unkind about older people.
@@amoxzi Just because you're old doesn't mean that you will automatically get people's sympathy. Furthermore, when people speak of "natural causes" they don't mean dying peacefully in your sleep, they usually mean suffering a heart-attack or a stroke.
Thank you again Dr. Grande 🙏
There should be emergency stop buttons at close intervals on the barriers.
In Wisconsin, you are given much warning before the bridge goes up -- a snail could retreat before going in to the drink
I was going to say that even though the worker was negligent, this entire process sounds incredibly dangerous, and I’m surprised such bridges still exist without extensive safety systems.
How are there no camera feeds in the guard tower?
@@Nahimgood289 Exactly. Apparently no cameras, no way of tracking whether a pedestrian entered the bridge. And most strangely to me, if someone *were* on the bridge when the lights started flashing and the announcement was made, they wouldn’t have enough time to get off the bridge before it began to rise. I’m not a civil engineer in the least, but I really don’t understand how this is permitted to exist in the year 2024.
Someone suggested a foot guard working in tandem to be sure of clearance.....simple solution there.
Poor Carol!!! How horrific!
Thank you, Dr. Grande.
People can no longer rely on others to exercise protocols for safety; whether it is Francesco Schettino, Brandon Bostian ir even Carol Wright. It is a new world.
So…she got a punishment of….NOTHING!!!
Yep. And since she faced zero jail time for taking a life, showing her callous nature with her lies and lack of remorse, I know there's no way she'll face any time for a parole violation. They'll just let her go again. No wonder she continues to break the law. They've always just dropped the charges and given a slap on the wrist, even under these circumstances.
Her privilege.
It works for the police why can’t it work for her
@@yeerrr2726 no logic comment, wtf 💩🤡
@@L30B055 fair treatment is literally the logic? How can you not get that slow brains… if light punishments works for the police then it should work for the general public
Movable bridges usually have bells sirens and or air horns to prevent such things.
Yeah every movable bridge I've had to stop for has these. He said for this one in Palm Beach, the bridge operator has to make a verbal announcement - that's it? No alarm? Never heard of that before. Either way he does mention Carol was trapped by the time it was too late. As someone else mentioned, there should be some kind of emergency buttons along the moving parts of the bridge for pedestrians to press to alert the bridge operator or even stop it (I realize that may not be possible) - but some kind of simple safety warning system would be a good idea.
Exactly, traffic stopped and the red lights were on. Why did Carol keep walking?
@@MissMiaAfroGoddess She was elderly and walking slowly. She was past the red lights when they came on and the traffic stopped.
@@YTStoleMyUsername Agreed. As pathetic as the operator was, there should be much more safety built into that bridge.
@@MissMiaAfroGoddessCarol was already on the bridge when it started opening, she was 18 feet onto it, thats too far to get back in time
The supervisor advised lying during an official investigation and faced no charges. This is a fundamental flaw in the system as people don't worry about telling others to suppress evidence and make misrepresenrations.
No doubt the ex-tender will blame the decedent for ruining her life.
Being a waitress and janitor clearly qualified her for a position that can affect public safety 👍
She was also a medical care provider. I had to be legally responsible for these kinds of people in a healthcare environment. These corporations will hire anybody. If they hurt somebody, then it's my fault. So, no wonder I sent my license back to the state.
I'm shocked she had the intellectual capacity to push 5 buttons in sequence.
I mean you don't need a math degree to push a few buttons and to visually check a bridge. But you do need to have a good work ethic because you're so low and skipping out on your steps puts people at risk. This is more akin to the same job as amusement park rides where they check that everybody's strapped in safely before they push a button. Nobody in their 30s to 50s is going to be working a $10 job if they have any accountability though. It should probably be $25 per hour minimum. I'm sure the private company was getting way more per hour from the government than they were paying out. The government probably could have saved money and paid better wages if they did the staffing themselves. It should be more on level with the people that do train safety as somebody else put.
Tisha probably knew this old lady from numerous other times she slowly crossed the bridge. Knowing this changes everything.
