My brother had back surgery in Scottsdale, and his roommate was getting surgery to repair his pinky, which was destroyed in a welding incident in the Samsung plant being built in the area. Made me wonder about the safety of the workers there.

I am confused. How is this related to the story? Is Samsung the general contractor to build the fab? I doubt it.
Burns, cuts, mashed fingers, all part of the picture when you work in trades, especially construction.
How does one destroy a pinky from welding?

I don’t doubt it, just curious how that occurred?

A large pipe that was being welded wasn't secure and fell on his hand.
