I sent you a picture from the angle from where it happened.
“Did the scaffolding collapse?”
No, 12:22 (myself) didn’t read the whole story. Sorry.
Did the scaffolding collapse?
I saw it but didn’t have a camera with me. The winds are very strong here on Clinton Avenue. I live between Lafayette and Greene and was walking towards Fulton when it happened. It was frightening to see.
20 pounds/sq.ft of wind. That’s what you gotta design those scaffolds for. No excuse. Can’t rely on the DOB to give you a wind advisory.
It’s so windy out – can’t believe they were up there.
I think B’Stoner wanted a picture of the chaos probably going on over there.
Well, this building is going to be a while longer.
A camera? To take a picture of what exactly?
Wow. I live a couple blocks away and see this building from my apartment. Those jobs are just so dangerous.
