Glass Falls Off Bank of America Building. Again.

2008_09_fallingglas.jpgThe Gothamist Newsmap indicated there was "falling debris" at West 43rd Street and 6th Avenue in Midtown and now it turns out it's not ordinary debris: It's Bank of America window glass debris! CityRoom reports that a "pane of glass fell from around the 16th floor of the skyscraper." Apparently no one was hurt and the police closed sidewalks around the under-construction building. We'll repeat what a reader told us last time around: "Stuff falls from that building all the time, it's insane. I am never walking under it again."

Just one more reason to never go above 14th Street.

that particular pane was really from Meryl Lynch

Pane from Merrill Lynch...heh, good one Dimshine.

glass today, bankers tomorrow

Anyone who has seen The Omen knows how badly a pane of glass can ruin a person's day.

Actually, anyone who knows how the drummer from Abba died knows how badly a pane of glass can ruin a person's day

In the case of the Abba drummer, that one may have brightened a few days.

[7] When was the last time you brightened somebody's day? Can't remember, eh?

I see Spirit1976 is back to lighten up our days. I missed you yesterday.

He finally realized that Abba spelled backwards is Abba.

poetic? a metaphor for the present? fucked up is what it is.

Even their building is "shedding assets".

[9] Sure got under your skin, eh? You can't seem to do anything but personal attacks nowadays. Get a job, gramps.

Al Gore has offices in there. I suspect he knocked into the glass while attempting to install some CFLs.
