Holy GOD that hurt. I popped a cheez-it in my mouth and went to close my mouth, and it got stuck sideways and stabbed the roof of my mouth. Hard. I couldn't even move for a minute, just sat there with my mouth wide open, reeling in pain. It hurt so badly it actually made me nauseous. |

| An irrational fear confirmed: Construction crane crushes NYC building, 4 dead, 3 missing |

My irrational fear of construction cranes has just become a very concrete fear. No, really, look at this.
Yeah, you see that pile of rubble between those two buildings? A few minutes ago that was a four-story townhouse. It was completely obliterated by this falling 19-story behemoth.
Crane falls and crushes building in NYC, four dead
Sun Mar 16, 2008 5:38am EDT
By Chip East and Claudia Parsons
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A giant crane fell and crushed a residential building in Manhattan on Saturday, killing four construction workers and injuring more than 10 other people, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
He said the crane "basically just flattened" a four-story townhouse with a bar on the lower level and damaged three other buildings. The bar was closed at the time.
Greta Welkhammer, a witness who was passing by on her bicycle, told local TV station NY1 that she looked up and saw the crane "literally split in half."
"I saw the crane crashing, splitting in half," she said, adding that she saw the building it hit "falling like a house of cards."
"Everybody was running, running; it was devastating," she said.
Bloomberg said the crane broke during a routine operation to extend its height by inserting a section and raising the top part of the crane. The bottom part of the crane fell and hit a 19-story building but nobody was injured there.
The top part of the crane, which witnesses said was at least 15 or 20 stories high before the accident, fell and flipped over, hitting and damaging three buildings as it fell and landing on the townhouse that was completely crushed.
Bloomberg said authorities were investigating the cause of the accident and emergency workers were still searching in the rubble for anyone who might be trapped.
He said the four people killed were construction workers, and that several more workers were injured. An additional 10 people were injured, three of them critically, Bloomberg said.
"Fortunately the bar was not open so there was either one or two people in that bar," he said. One person was rescued alive from the bar and workers were searching to check if the second person was in fact in the bar at the time.
"We are still looking for other victims potentially trapped in the rubble," Bloomberg said.
Cars on the street were buried in rubble, with one car flipped over on its side on 50th Street in Midtown Manhattan between 1st and 2nd Avenues.
Local TV station NY1 broadcast an amateur video taken shortly after the collapse that showed the building completely enveloped in what appeared to be a cloud of brownish dust.

They're still looking from one construction worker, as well as two women on the ground that are unaccounted for.
I'd say I'm pretty well justified in my fear, now, yeah? |

| Royal de Luxe's "The Sultan's Elephant" |
[Jan. 9th, 2008|01:35 am] |
(Thanks to ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) triggur for posting these incredible videos on his blog.)
Imagine an elephant the size of a three-story house. Benevolent and obediant, it can lift entire vehicles, spray crowds of people with water, and carry not one, but a half-dozen or more riders at once.
Now see one for yourself.
It's like the ultimate in animatronics. And it doesn't stop there.
It's eerie, but at the same time beautiful and truly awe-inspiring.
There's a few more videos on YouTube, including the conclusion to this giant-sized, 4-day-long fairy tale.
Personally, I hope I can see it in person some day. |
