Wind knocks some shit down!

Looks like some wind FUCKED UP some scaffolding (with a little vehicular collateral damage).

Mission Loc@l has a really long story on it that I didn’t read but I’ll summarize for you here anyways:

  1. It was wicked windy in SF last night.
  2. Some construction crew did not properly secure the scaffolding to the building
  3. Wind knocked over some scaffolding
  4. One of the car owners is really pissed off this happened
  5. The other car owner could not be reached for comment
  6. The people renting the building said they heard a noise and then noticed there was wood everywhere.  ”We were, like, shit!  That doesn’t look right!”
  7. Spelling mistake
  8. A spokeswoman for the construction company apologizes for the incident, blames the wind, says this type of stuff happens a lot in places like Chicago
  9. A visibly still drunk worker mentions that he was out with his friends when he got the call to come pick stuff up
  10. Workers get mad overtime pay
  11. Company + insurance has to replace the vehicles
  12. …
  13. Profit!

Was I right?

    After I read this I went to check on the scaffolding that just went up on my building (for the painters), right outside my window and indeed it was secured into the building via some wire and nails. +1 for the scaffolding co. my building used.

    People at Mission Loc@l (and the construction co) need to get some learnin’. Chicago is not especially windy; it’s called The Windy City because of its gasbag politicians.

    I lived in Chicago for almost 7 years. Stuff like this NEVER happened. Not once. EVER.
