This is why they are giving themselves a raise, so things like this doesn't happen

Jet fuel may not be able to melt steel beams, but apparently the Vax can.

You see, there’s more benefit to leaving the thermostat below 78 degrees than just for comfort.

WTH does caved in mean? A cave in is a collapse. I didn't see a collapse. Perhaps they mean the floors are sagging.


It means the floors collapsed. You can't see the floor collapse because you're only seeing the outside of the building. Follow me for more building structure advice.

I hear Larry Silverstein just bought the building and increased the insurance coverage on it by 350%

Agreed. After living in the suburbs with large yards my entire life, I'd be a miserable human being if I were hundreds of feet off the ground and nowhere to ride my John Deere on Sundays.

Around 8 a.m., construction workers noticed cracks inside the building. The FDNY say the workers spotted structural support beams beginning to buckle on the 21st and 22nd floors and self-evacuated.


And then they turned and got the hell out of there afterwards.

If it collapases, will they allow the feet of a corpse to stick out over the street for weeks on end like NOLA did ?


Weeks? I think it was like 5 months.

As long as it doesn't catch fire, it will bring up flashbacks to the movie Towering Inferno.

Somewhere, the architect and structural engineer with their stamps on these drawings are freaking the frick out


Nah, theres probably a bold red footnote on a print somewhere that says DO NOT REMOVE BEAM 48B284 UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BUILDING WILL COLLAPSE

And beam 48B284 was probably removed by some idiot trying to make a shorter walk to the smoking area.
