it wasnt the red tape that was the cause of the death-a-day statistic, its the lack of saftey measures being implemented by main contractors and subcontractors.
In an emerging city in a boom period and running on tight construction programmes, safety is bound to be neglected sometimes. The last few years (and ever since the financial meltdown) have seen a marked decrease in the number of worker deaths and and increase in safety policies. But sometimes no matter how much you try and prevent accidents, or how much training you provide, you cant help accidents from occuring.
I'm assuming that if you were going to build WTC again, that the safety policies of US contractors are far more advanced and safety inspections by consultants and authorities more thorough than in an emerging nation. There's still many things to fix here, no doubt.
