Chicago double LODD 12-22-10 (update)

The Chicago Tribune recently published a report on the sentencing of a building owner who was given a six-month jail term for failing to make necessary repairs to an abandoned structure that collapsed in 2010, leading to the tragic deaths of two firefighters. The incident occurred on December 22, 2010, when the deteriorating roof of a former South Side laundry facility gave way during a fire, killing FF Edward J. Stringer, 47, and FF/EMT Corey D. Ankum, 34. Nineteen other firefighters were also injured in the accident. The building’s owner, Chuck Dai, pleaded guilty to contempt of court and was sentenced by Judge James Obbish. According to reports, Dai had been ordered to make critical repairs but failed to do so, despite multiple citations from city inspectors dating back to 2007. Over the years, he accumulated over $14,000 in fines and missed several court appearances. In 2009, he agreed to a court order to complete the repairs by November 2010, but prosecutors claim he never followed through. City officials later confirmed that no follow-up inspections were conducted before the fatal collapse. Dai’s attorney, Gene Murphy, stated that his client chose to plead guilty to avoid putting the victims’ families through a lengthy trial. He was also fined $5,229 as part of the sentence. While the case is now closed, civil lawsuits brought by the families of the fallen firefighters are still ongoing in Cook County Circuit Court. State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez explained that while administrative penalties are typically used for code violations, the loss of life in this case justified criminal charges. Following the tragedy, investigations revealed that poor communication within the fire department—some firefighters lacked radios—contributed to the fatalities. Additionally, the city’s Building Department was criticized for not identifying the building as hazardous. In response to the disaster, the city implemented new safety measures, including marking abandoned buildings with a red “X” and restricting firefighter entry into such structures unless there's evidence of occupants. At the time of the fire, firefighters had entered the building in search of homeless individuals. It was later determined that a trash fire had sparked the blaze. This case highlights the serious consequences of neglecting building safety and the importance of accountability in public infrastructure. The tragedy has led to lasting changes in how cities handle abandoned properties and emergency responses.

ADVU

The ADVU cylinder is a compact cylinder produced by the German company Festo, known for its small size and high efficiency. The ADVU series is typically classified as thin or compact cylinders, suitable for applications with limited space.

Here are some characteristics and specifications of Festo ADVU cylinders:

Integrated design:

The motor is usually integrated with the cylinder body.

The controller and cables are also part of the system.

Installation and adjustment:

The installation position of the magnetic switch is reserved on the surface of the cylinder block, which makes it very easy to install and adjust the position of the magnetic switch.

Model and size:

The ADVU series offers a variety of sizes to choose from, such as 12, 16, 20, 40, 50, 63, and other models with different cylinder diameters.

Different travel lengths are available for selection to meet different application requirements.

Technical parameters:

The diameter of the piston can vary depending on the model.

The length of the trip will also vary depending on the specific model.

The buffering type is generally an elastic buffering ring/pad at both ends.

The installation position is flexible and can be installed in different directions.

The operating mode is usually double acting, meaning that the piston can be pushed in two directions by compressed air.

Application areas:

Due to its compact design, ADVU cylinders are commonly used in automated equipment that requires space saving, such as packaging machinery, electronic assembly lines, etc.
