REPORTER: Good evening, this is Liz Rosen with Channel Seven News. I’m live in the studio with special guest Lance Weber, whose sixteen-year-old son, Brandon, died tragically at the abandoned construction site behind the Bayview Mall just ten days ago. Mr. Weber, my heartfelt condolences for your loss.
LANCE WEBER: Thank you. My wife and I are beyond devastated.
REPORTER: You’re here tonight, you told our producers, because you want answers.
LANCE WEBER: That’s right. I’ve been a businessman for more than half my life, Liz, and in business the bottom line is accountability. Yet I can’t get any of the entities involved in this horrible tragedy—the construction company, the mall, even town officials—to step forward and provide details about what I am sure are multiple instances of negligence that contributed to my son’s death.
REPORTER: Are you saying that you believe one of those organizations—or perhaps all of them—are at fault?
LANCE WEBER: I’m saying that something like this doesn’t just happen, Liz. There’s always a responsible party.
