 |
|
Yesterday afternoon in Seoul, my friend witnessed a construction crane falling off of a 15 story building and crashing onto the ground below. I heard a couple of people died. Talk about sketchy construction!
Here's a pic of the crane mid fall...

I'm trying to find a link to the story but haven't been successful yet. Anyone know more about this? |

| Stuff like this happens in all countries. People take short cuts and usually get away with it...until they don't. |

Yeah, definitely all over the world. What a horrible way to die..
I wonder what inspection is required and if it's required daily? |

| Check the JoongAng Ilbo tomorrow perhaps. I saw the photo on the front of the Korean version today at lunch, might see an English article on it tomorrow. |

| The elevated conveyor belts the moving companies use crash fairly often from lack of proper support. You need to look up to stay safe. |

What a bummer. When I saw the subject tag, I envisioned a beautiful waterfall which earned its name from the graceful birds that live there.
(Dont laugh at me. There is an artificial waterfall park in Seoul.) |

| No shock in a country that has such low safety standards. It was bound to happen someday. |

| To be true a crane landing on your head probably isn't that bad of a way to die. |
