Whooooha Did you see that thing come down through the cab. I wonder what happened to the driver? If there was someone in the back seat they had a bad day. Is there any follow up to that?

I've heard post game analysis ranging from "they were embarassed but unhurt" to "they had some bumps and scratches, but walked away." Sounds like in any case the bank and truck took the worst of it.

Holy crap!

That roof sure toppled awfully easily. It didn't even look like that hard of a hit. You'd think it'd be built to withstand a little more than that.

Modern construction is scary.

I remember when I was in training for State Farm we went and visited a bunch of homes being built, it was scary because nearly every single house wasn't being built to code.

I can beleive it. They built a LOT of condos across the street from me. I took an "afterhours" walk through them before the doors were locked.. I would not live in one if you paid me. Shoddy shoddy construction.. and starting at $350,000 too!

I think that quality home construction stopped in the Sixties. As an alarm installer, I have seen horrible construction defects, and usually in the high end homes. Only way to avoid it is to be there and watch everything. After the drywall goes up, it's all hidden. One house I worked on was being built for the contractor, he was going to live there. Big money. I was going to drill a hole to mount the control panel and put some weight on the wall to brace myself and quickly found that the wall was not connected to the floor. The wall swung over an inch from my push.
