And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Proving once again how gullible and blindly trusting the general public is (eg. masks and 6ft, 15 days to whatevertheheck). Then it’s news at 11 as “tragedy strikes”.
You know that there are requirements for structure like this? Usually for a small overhang on a residential building with a wooden frame the structure of the overhang has to extend 2-3 feet into the building for every foot of overhang. For a structure like this one I would not be surprised if the steel beams that hold that overhang extend all the way across that level to the other side of the building.
Plus the diagonal bracing below, notice how the glassed-in area goes down two whole floors? There is a bunch of steel behind that glass supporting the cantilevered balcony along with the beams going into the building.
In NYC it is probably pretty safe. I wouldn't be in the same square mile of the same thing built in a turd-world country like China, India, or SE Asia.
Honestly, I would trust the SEOR who designed this….not sure who it was, but it has to have been rigorously challenged by 3rd party structural firms. The city SE’s are guaranteed to be over worked 2nd tier engineers. Just a CA HCAI observation.
I've seen the results of architectural failures. I wouldn't be out there on that. And I worked the derrick on drilling rigs.
ReplyDeleteThe right frequency starts from all those people, might cause the porch to fail.

ReplyDeleteJust the weight of the moon should cause it to fail, but it seems to be stronger than it looks.
