    hahaha, yeah most of those brick block or stone columns at least have a steep post in the center, The way that one disintegrated it showed nothing was inside, What you want to bet it had one when it was rebuilt
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    The column to the right hits the ground in one piece, the one on the left disappears quickly off screen, They likely held together just the attachment at the top & bottom failed. It looked more like the lack of rack bracing did it in rather than the columns collapsing.
