Slumpy Collapse Caught On Film

As you know I’ve spent many years and many posts documenting old Slumpy

A few weeks ago she collapsed, and you have to love the power of the internet, someone caught it on camera.

Click here to watch the collapse on Youtube
. If you’re at work, turn down the sound, there’s a little bit of swearing – FYI.

I can’t believe that:

a. Someone caught it on camera.

and

b. It’s online.

Amazing.

  • Nothing like timing. Amazing what low-cost video is doing these days. As little as one or two years ago, there's a good chance that never would have been captured, let alone streamed for free on the net.

  • That's a amazing. Kind of ironic, that so many people talk of moving historic buildings, rather than demolishing them (and I agree in some cases), and that is what happened here. And that was the problem. The new foundation couldn't support the building, and it collapsed. If you're going to do something, do it right.
