They probably took a safety meeting break.
Safety guy could only do one meeting. LOL
Honestly, this looks like one hell of a problem.

Interesting, If you seen footage of the pouring in the old films they made every block in thr dam is a different puzzle size and that is the method of locking together they used. You may have seen this documentary. My grandfather worked on it so, it is especially interesting to me.

We’ll get our crack troops right on it!

There's also a lot of crackheads we could ship down there to work on it.

Will buy the ChiComs time to complete their sea-level canal through Nicaragua.

You noticed that also, didn't you?

The proposed Nicaragua canal would require locks as well. Lake Nicaragua is 107 feet above sea level.

They will need at least 100 years to finish that mess; extremely unlikely it will ever be completed.
