    EV's are a total bust...those that are buying them are finding out it costs more run one than a gas car by quite a little bit. They don't go in the cold and when it comes time to replace the battery pack it often costs way more than an average person can afford. The auto makers that jumped on the bandwagon have lost billions and are having to jack up the price of gas cars to cover the losses.

    We saw pictures of that. That doesn't look like a crane thing. The cranes are still standing.

    OSHA is investigating so it will be awhile— one of the dead is the company owner’s brother other 2 were iron workers— so far all the injured are still alive.

    Still upright with the main boom snapped clean off — they were setting the last end girder when it went so they didn’t dump the rig.

    Probably both. Depends on her mood and belly.

    Usually when a crane is the cause, the crane tipped over, and it may knock down part of the structure. That looks more like the thing just collapsed somehow.

    If you close at the columns, the anchor bolts are still in the concrete and it looks like the connection plate tore loose on all of them— building started to go with the crane still attached and took the boom with it— couldn’t even guess what happened— never seen anything close

    Our Walmart has it all covered. They have four charging stations for EV's, though I have never seen anyone using them, and they have a hitching post in the back for the horses. The hitching rail gets used daily.
