Crunch time

Oops... From the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:
7-foot-tall 'B' crash-lands on Downtown sidewalk
A 300-pound, 7-foot tall aluminum letter "B" -- part of the new Ariba sign going atop One FreeMarkets Center Downtown -- fell 500 feet to the ground yesterday morning when a cable broke as workers tried to move it from a window washing platform onto the building for installation. The sign crashed at the Wood Street end of PNC Plaza near Oliver Avenue about 10:30 a.m. but no one was injured.

Those poor workers must have felt sick watching it fall. Good that nobody was hurt... Posted by DaveH at February 28, 2005 9:36 PM
