12. Nice building!

Pity about the damage.

Picture, bottom right - is that Barr signing a resignation letter?

4. Heaven Leaves No Doubt, Sir

An 'Annal of Signs and Wonders' for this year would have topple any antique emperor or king.

5. Anyone who hangs a flag (sail) from a mobile electric work platform (MEWP) is an absolute idiot!!!

11. Yes. They obviously didn't study torque forces. That large billowing flag was putting

enormous pressure on the pieces of equipment that were holding it. If they had widened the wheel base substantially, or built a proper set of retainers, that would not have happened, but that crew doesn’t think ahead.

13. Outriggers!

Some of these platforms have outriggers for stability.
Not these, apparently.

14. That would have worked if they were static, cables in such a situation could be both tricky and

potentially very dangerous.

6. Dumbasses. I live about 25/30 miles from the Hky airport

It has been quite breezy today here in the foothills, almost windy. Stupid idea to have sissor lifts raised outside like that.

7. Have you noticed

that when things go bad for Trump, it almost invariably comes down to their own incompetence?

8. You'd think they'd realize the universe is trying to tell them something.

Namely: "Pull your heads out, you mouth-breathing f**ks!"

9. Scissor lift

Notorious for killing people.

Where is the Greek Chorus?
