Re: Crane crunches Aiea pedestrian overpass
Actually, I believe everyone is reporting that. I pity those who work the night shift in town. Try not to get hit by any falling debris on the way home!

Re: Crane crunches Aiea pedestrian overpass
I don't know if this has already been posted, but I was reading snopes.com, and came upon this: an excavator that crashed into a highway overpass.
That reminded me of what happened here, so I thought I'd share.

I always look up and sideways whenever I do the three big horseshoe turns along the Hamakua Coast on the Big Island. These and a few other places along Route 19 between Hilo and Honokaa where the cliffside could suddenly come down upon you.

KHON tonight referenced an apparently infamous accident in Hays, Kansas, where a backhoe hit a bridge, and actually made it partway through the concrete. Very impressive. And not something I'd want repeated out here!

I say keep the thread around until we find out the fate of the bridge and the Army personnel responsible. We can look at these last few posts as “pre-press conference lobby chatter.”

Man...Ryan ought to close this thread just because of that creative post from cw. In improv theatre, we call that a "blackout," meaning "that's as good as it can get - end the sketch on a high note."

Re: Crane crunches Aiea pedestrian overpass
Wow...first crane, then population, then Kamehamena using Haoles to unite Hawaii, then PJ being a fish...so lets see:
Dis crane when whack one overpass den Kamehameha told one Haole, "Eh braddah we go use your guns and run the Oahu Warriors off da Pali. Den Oahu population wen drop (cuz dey wen all make ova da cliffs) And den for some reason plenty of babies was born and left da Aina but wen come back at 15 to get da drivers license and wen make one mess up wen da crane wen bus up da overpass because da driver wen turn into one fish(Eh fish no can drive truck...need CDL eh?)
Moral: If Kamehameha never used Cook to win the battle of Oahu, the Big Island would have been the gathering isle and Oahu wouldn't have had any traffic problems and Palolo Joe wouldn't be a fish. See what a wonderful world it could have been?

Speaking of that fateful night and the wonderful AAA tow truck driver who took my daughter and I under his wing...I sent AAA an email asking them to give him a raise! Of course, he didn't get that, but he did get a $25. gift card via their "Compliment Program". Nice to know there is such a program. And even nicer to learn that he benefitted beyond a verbal compliment.
