Parking lift collapse in NYC

Post by ragingfish »

For those who have been to NYC, you know what crazy extremes people go to in order to park their cars.One of these methods is a parking "lift." It's basically a tall rack with shelves upon which cars are stored vertically.Well, it sounds pretty slick...but what happens when something goes wrong... Parking Lift Collapse (WMV, 1.96 MB)This happened a week or two ago, but I've been waiting for my new web host...
YES!I still visit GenVibe periodically. I have not forgotten about my "original" family over here!

The car right infront of them, i'm assuming the one that was on the very top, looks to be a very nice porsche... well used to be a very nice one! but talk about not having to worry about someone stealing your car... thats like the construction sites that hang up their generators on the crane's at night! hahaha
