PHILADELPHIA – A heavy equipment operator who is accused of being high on marijuana when a downtown building collapsed onto a thrift store, killing six people, is in custody after surrendering to face charges in the deaths, police said.
Sean Benschop, who has a lengthy police record, surrendered Saturday and faces six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of risking a catastrophe. A warrant had been issued for his arrest and police had been searching for him. He is awaiting arraignment.
Authorities believe the 42-year-old Benschop had been using an excavator Wednesday when the remains of the four-story building under demolition gave way and toppled onto an attached Salvation Army thrift store, killing two employees and four customers and injuring 13 others.

"Oh no, marijuana isn't harmful and it should be legal!" Add this to the long list of crimes committed while under THIS drug!
And the government want to legalize the stuff. How many workers will be high and working? I'm feeling real safe.
well gee golly gee, it isn't legal and he still smoked it while working. would it have been better if he was drunk instead? nobody ever commits crime while drinking right? and alcohol helps many more people that the cancer patients and glaucoma patients that pot helps.
Yeah, good point you guys have.
Don't blame the man. Blame the crane. Band all cranes now time to outlaw them, I need the libarards suport now, keep our streets safe.
