Hi,
just outside my office at 2.15pm local time in Hong Kong, a huge pole measureing 2 feet by 20 meters fell as it was being hoisted upto the 52nd floor. There was this huge boom outside. I looked outside and saw this pole breaking into 2 pieces and flattened a BWM X5 into what I thought wsa a Porsche 911.The guy inside was miracously unhurt though seriously shocked. The pole fell on top of his missing the driver by inches and flattened the complete rear section. The taxi next to it had his bonnet dented by debris. Someone is going to get sued :-)

Before i could go down, the police and firemen were already cordoning off the road.

Anyway here are some picture from my office and in the street.
