    Default OMG! Scaffold breaking! (56k Beware!)

    About 20-30 mins ago, a cable snapped on a scaffolding for a window cleaners at the BMO building downtown across from TD (7th and 3rd).

    Fire trucks came, and they had a crane. As the crane was going up, the window cleaners managed to somehow fix the engine, and get back to the top. Everyone involved is alright.

    Pics!

    My productivity went to 0 for a good 1/2 hour... I'm on the 10th floor right across from where it happened... I believe it was on the 13th ish floor. So I had like the perfect view.

    I walked by when it happened. The guy up there seemed pretty calm about it. I would've been crapping my pants.

    Glad everything worked out well in the end.

    He probably was, but when you're already in a precarious position on a swing stage, the last thing you want to be doing is moving around all panicky-like

    I would bet those guys are going to be looking for different jobs starting this afternoon.

    Dear Boss.....I quit.

    I don't know that I would have signed up for a job like that in the first place but I sure wouldn't be going back after something like that.

    They both seemed pretty calm.

    When the sirens turned on, and the fire dept was coming, the one guy on the left (the one on the phone) started laughing.

    All in all, everyone was pretty calm... I was pretty impressed. And the crane from the fire dept was pretty cool too. They almost smashed right into the +15. The were just a little too far back, and had to squeeze in the corner in order to get up/down.

    You need to reset your time on your camera.
    When you have a thought... let it go.. just let it go and you move ahead of everyone else

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    I was wondering why there was so much going on, I drove by and saw a couple of fire trucks and an ambulance on it's way.

    Good to know that they're fine... I'd be taking the rest of the day off and heading home for a stiff drink.

    This was right outside my window! If only I could read lips, but I'm guessing anybody could imagine what they were saying.
