random dangerous-ness

Well not so random as we had a slight Idea it might happen.

Not even ten minutes before the collapse I was underneath it all sweeping up.

I would have loved the "Hospital?" thread

thegubner · World Chat Champion Joined: 25 Mar 2007 Karma :

That would probably have been followed by the "compensation?" thread.

Weight would be..................... A lot.

Also, if you want a "cool story bro" you must tell one first.

I can't find a 'Cool Demolition, Bro' image, so have a pic of Fred Dibnah instead:

Well if I have learned anything at all from this it's two things, I tell cool cool stories and Fred Dibnah may not have been my namesake but he was my hatsake.

Thought control, I cant knock it all down, its the balcony from the back doors of two flats above, the balcony of two bedsits above that is in the same state that was before it collapsed.

A company were paid by all the property owners collectively to do it LAST july, they should have started in October.

I'm just glad I could see how bad it was getting and stopped my daughter going out into the garden a couple of weeks back.

Well, for some reason the building just shook, my other half felt it too. Nothing else has come down though. Call me paranoid but I'm doubling the efforts of operation house move.

Having seen a few collapses (and been a party to many deliberate ones) - I would be gone from there. Un-intended movement that you can feel is not to be taken lightly.

EDIT:

See in this pic:

The black line in the underside of the balcony looks like a filler joist - a narrow steel joist that WAS supported by that large rotten steel channel/angle which is hanging down. The joists are laid out then concrete fill (with no reinforcing) is set between them. Now that the support is gone the only thing holding that section of balcony it the fact that the concrete is keyed inside that joist. A few good jumps on the balcony will have the lot down IMO.

Yeah renting, its all outside, the stairwells have signs on saying don't use but yeah its pretty bad.

I have no idea who decides that sort of thing, someone was meant to be coming from the council yesterday I think but I never saw anyone. The flat owners are all dealing with it. But one of them is an agent who own it themselves so its all foot dragging I think.
