This kills the human. They will tickle the underside of buildings no longer.

The fronts not supposed to fall off. Just to be clear.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Well, the front fell off in this case by all means, but it’s very unusual.

Unfortunately, it was not made of cardboard or cardboard derivatives.

Well what sort of standards are these buildings built to?

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Oh, very rigorous civil engineering standards.

Any sources on if the person operating the machinery is alright?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wouldn't hold my breath.

You should that dust is bad for you

Congratulations, that got an unreasonably loud laugh from me.

If all the conversations in the comm are like this post, it'll be a fun place

They just had half a building fall on them.

The rollcage ain't saving you from that much concrete.

They had a good hypothetical 3 seconds with fast reflexes, maybe a fast runner too
