It'll be alright. Just give it a few whacks with a hammer, a new lick of paint and stick it back on top again :)

On a serious note, any shoddy/ugly workmanship can be covered up with Aluminium panelling or plaster and paint, and none will be the wiser....until shit starts delaminating / breaking off. |

Without defending the construction industry too much, we are all not in a giant conspiracy to provide as shoddy a job as possible then cover it up. :lol: |

I think this video is a clever fake. Why were they filming it? why is the video so stable and good quality - it would have to been a professional camera to get that image quality back then.
Of course, these accidents happen all the time on building sites - I just don't believe that this happened... |

Re: Burj al Arab construction accident
I was at the site the day before the accident and in one of the major subbies factories the day it happened so didn't actually see the boom crash down.
The footage doesn't show how windy it really was that day. |

Darling, it did happen. Watch the crash and the dust and the debris falling in the water. Also the guys running for their lives in the last part of the drop.
