At least the cranes didn’t fall.
I'm not so sure. It looks like the gantry crane leaned into the side of the building,

They might have been in the process of raising it. Doing so is quite the balancing act.

My guess is it's definitely a crane failure.

Stay at a hotel that’s 150 years old. It doesn’t have Elvis’’ jock strap...but it works.

Solution: Tear down the WHOLE building and start over.

This happened in Louisiana.

Who was in Louisiana yesterday?

That’s right.

President Trump.

Do the math.

> Look for the union label. <

One of the many jobs I had in my misspent youth was laborer at construction sites. Some of the sites were union, some weren’t. The union workers were often rude and arrogant. But let me tell you something. To a man they were all competent and skilled craftsmen. They knew what they were doing.

On nonunion sites, you had “carpenters” who two days earlier were working at a dollar store.

No way the guy running on the scaffolding made it.
