Macy Chiasson files lawsuit after deadly Dallas crane collapse: 'I've completely lost everything'
https://sports.yahoo.com/ufc-macy-chais ... 47197.html


UFC fighter Macy Chiasson filed a lawsuit against her apartment complex and the Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. after their crane crashed into her apartment building on Sunday, killing one resident, according to CBSDFW.

A crane collapsed into an apartment complex near downtown Dallas on Sunday when a storm moved through the area, killing 29-year-old Kiersten Smith and making the building uninhabitable. The highest wind gust reported at Dallas Love Field Airport was 71 mph during the storm on Sunday, according to CNN.

Chiasson, who lived two floors below where the victim lived, cut her foot on glass while running to safety with her dog, per the report.

Chaisson told TMZ on Tuesday that she had only been home for about 20 minutes when she started hearing what sounded like construction noises coming from her backyard, which sits about 100 feet away from where a new structure is being built.

“I heard a little bit of something, and I was like, ‘There’s no way that they’re doing construction right now on a Sunday,’” Chiasson told TMZ. “All of the sudden, when I said that to myself, I heard a loud boom. I could hear, whatever it was, kind of falling through the ceiling floor by floor. Once I heard that, I called my dog ... and we ran out.”

Her lawsuit claimed the defendants “breached their duties of ordinary care to the Plaintiff by failing to adequately warn the Plaintiff and others for the condition and failing to make that condition reasonably safe.” She also alleged that Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. failed to inspect and maintain the crane on a regular basis, according to CBSDFW.

Chiasson is seeking damages worth no “less than three times the amount of the Plaintiff’s actual damages,” per the report.

“No one was prepared for anything,” Chiasson told TMZ. “People were in their underwear, they had several people that were completely covered in debris and dust and bleeding. It was terrible.

“I’ve completely lost everything. I don’t have anything. I have literally this shirt, a pair of shoes and shorts that I have on. I have nothing but my dog. Everything’s gone.”

The 27-year-old currently holds a 5-0 record in the UFC. She last took down Sarah Moras midway through the second round at UFC Fight night on May 4.

her apartment didnt get hit, two floors up did

World Trade Center got hit on over half way up. The bottom floors were fine duuuurr.

Building are made of shit architecture so when shit like this happens it destroys the whole fucking thing. Dont know if you are aware of how heavy cranes are but I doubt the support beams on a shitty apartment are going to brace the fall.

Not saying she is completely justified in these lawsuit, but that is a stupid fucking comment

Edit*

The whole building didn't get destroyed but it looks like plenty of apartments got fucked. Who knows which one is hers

[rockslayer16]

her apartment was on the first floor her shit isnt all gone, its temporarily inaccessible



my comment was 100% accurate, yet you call it a stupid fucking comment and then try to compare this to 9/11 wtc

yes, it was a stupid fucking comment. the whole building is uninhabitable so she can't go in and get anything that is in there. I hope your home has a crane fall on it and then see how you feel

5-0 in the UFC is like being a star running back in the NFL for 2-3 years but without all of the money, cars, house and 5K Reebok sponsorship. The UFC is still akin to the early days of the NFL when players had to get jobs during the offseason. Still can't believe fighters are going the Conor route trying to get paid more when the whole system is broke. Dana knows how to keep the fighters divided.

I thought this thread was about Chael Sonnen and that "Chasson" was just a clever way combining his first and last name

[Mr Meow]

You would think at this point people who write the articles would know the difference between unsanctioned fights in the TUF house which do not go on your record and fights under the UFC banner at a UFC event

Chiasson is 5-0. 3-0 in the UFC. She went 2-0 in the TUF house


Hopefully Dana and the UFC brass can help her out. Chiasson has fun fights and finishes almost all of them violently.
