There were, thankfully, no injuries. Imagine if this had happened during the middle of the day?!?!</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/28/scaffolding_col.php#comment-551587 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/28/scaffolding_col.php#comment-551587 Comments Sat, 28 Oct 2006 17:17:22 -0500 <p>oy! helio/d.o.t./building owner, get that thing outta the bike lane! that last pic is great. who took it? curbed? anyone know of any cyclists injured? probably none due to the weather, BUT there will be injuries if the lane is not cleared.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/28/scaffolding_col.php#comment-551555 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/28/scaffolding_col.php#comment-551555 Comments Sat, 28 Oct 2006 17:10:19 -0500 <p>Damn and to think that I could have just bloodied my head a bit and lay next to the pavement and could have had a ten million dollar lawsuit. Curses! And the ad is not really illegal. I mean it's illegal, but the city fines the building and the advertisers just pay the fine. simple. </p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/28/scaffolding_col.php#comment-551285 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/10/28/scaffolding_col.php#comment-551285 Comments Sat, 28 Oct 2006 16:23:07 -0500 <p>Most likely the weight of the illegal ad on it contributed to its fall.</p>
