Cool pics Steve! Keep up the good work, we're behind you guys 110% Quote from: fozsey on Jul 11, 2004, 10:14 AMBobman....What happened besides the obvious? Please explain. This intirgues me...Here's the story of the crash at the office. Our office building is on the corner of a very dangerous intersection in downtown Buffalo. This corner averages about one serious crash per month, fortunately no one has been killed yet but the ambulances are frequent visitors. In fact, last week we had a crash in the morning involving two of the Buffalo Sabres and a public school teacher, followed in the afternoon by an SUV rollover crash. Anyway, the office that had the truck crash through it is 2 offices down the hall from mine. The woman who's office it was wasn't seriously hurt, just a sprained ankle. Luckily she wasn't sitting at her desk when the truck came through the wall because as you can see from the pictures she would have gotten in the way of the concrete that the truck busted up. She happened to be on the phone, standing and looking out the window when she saw the truck coming right for her. She ducked into the corner of her office behind a steel support post and all the debris went right past her. She hurt her ankle scrambling over the rubble to get out of her office. The truck was trying to avoid T-boning a little car that cut him off (making a left turn from the middle lane in front of him) and couldn't stop in time before hitting the building. He was fine and the building took more damage than the truck. The truck was backed out of the building an driven to the repair shop. The truck was actually from a company that provides rides for handicapped and wheelchair bound people. Thankfully they didn't have any passengers at the time of the crash. Funny thing is that this is the second time a vehicle has come through the wall at that point. After the first time (before I was working there) they put a bunch of boulders, concrete planters and planted trees around that corner to try to stop vehicles from hitting the building, but this truck went through the only possible spot it could fit and at the exact angle to clear the barriers and get to the building. He had about 2" clearance on either side of the truck at best. Since I've been here (about 6 years) the barriers have stopped three crashes from reaching the building (like I said it's an exciting intersection).
I work at a Medical School doing vaccine research and development of various pathogenic bacteria/fungi for the department of Microbiology.
