The outcome of hemmjo's tragic story notwithstanding, what other result did workmen in GIF expect? !

I am retired teacher from what used to be small farming community. Had twin boys in the 7th grade back in the 80's. They were playing around an abandoned old barn and brick silo. The bricks were pretty loose from the poor quality mortar. One was apparently "tunneling" through the side of the silo, the other exploring someplace else in the barn, when the worst happened. The whole thing did not come down, but it was fatal anyway.

Be careful out there.

It's unfortunately a regular occurance with kids exploring. For adults it's plain stupidity in my opinion as limited as it is.

Impressive, I guess they actually knew what they were doing!

And finally, the straw that broke the camel's back. Excellent.

The fact they got themselves in such a situation tells me they probably didnt...

Now that is a SLOOOOOOOOOOW job! Looks like one could take out retirement on that one job.

They at least could have a guy with a torch to cut the rebar.
