well that sure is a embarrassing fail, I am not sure you want to let your projects end like that. It really should have been demolished I think. Literary infrastructure that crumbled to pieces on its own. The way it swings to the side like a wrecking ball is so bad. |

That drone was lucky to not get taken down by that snapping cable. Really interesting to see an up close of a structural failure like this. The cable gives a bit and then total failure and it's all over. |
