City: It didn't inspect airport monitors that fell Associated Press Copyright 2013 Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed. Updated 4:05 pm, Tuesday, March 26, 2013 Steve Stine, an assistant city attorney, said the flight information display that killed Luke Bresette as his family returned home from a Florida beach vacation was a movable cabinet containing video monitors that didn't require inspection under municipal codes. The cabinet and monitors, previously described by authorities as weighing between 300 and 400 pounds, were installed in a recent $201 million terminal upgrade and expansion at Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport. Osorio said it appeared someone had applied heavy-duty construction adhesive to the bottom of the unit in a bid to secure it to the terminal floor. Toni Herrera-Bast, a city airport authority spokeswoman, said the airport has heart defibrillators for cardiac emergencies but relies on Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service for emergency medical care. "Because of the ongoing evaluation, it would be inappropriate for us to comment further at this time," the company said in a statement.
