caesar novus Posted November 4, 2025 Report Share Posted November 4, 2025 (edited) 4 years into restoration of medieval tower, it partially collapsed. When rescue workers gesture they have found a survivor, the cheers of crowd appear to trigger further collapse which results in death of worker. Italian news site full of finger pointing that may take a while to sort out. I can't embed dramatic video due to busy factor, so click on https://youtu.be/VuolVj6K0Yk?si=RhGm7pXfvDvmQ83W or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsYSCGaWWbA Edited November 4, 2025 by caesar novus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guidoLaMoto Posted November 4, 2025 Report Share Posted November 4, 2025 Impressive, but then I'm from Chicago where the oldest building is that grotesque Water Tower, only about 150 years old. I wonder if they'll try to restore it/save it? ...Actually, most of the ruins we see in and about the forum are the remains of late Empire restorations, not the originals of the early Empire. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.7560/760783 ....kinda reminds me of seeing George Washington's original hatchet with which he chopped down the cherry tree. Of course, after 300 years, the head had been replaced twice and the handle three times. Thanks for posting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
