STRANGE happenings go down on 3rd June! An email went around work on Friday from the building management to advise anyone working on Saturday not to park in the outside carpark as a crane was going to be there picking stuff up and putting it onto the roof of our building. Kelly, Richard, Malcolm and I were all rostered on - Stephen was working in the sales team - none of us were happy, as Kelly and I wanted to be out sunbathing in the balmy 24 degree heat, while the boys wanted to watch the Jamaica v's England game. The crane was huge and the workmen were picking up big crates from trucks and put them onto the top of the building, we were all kidding around saying imagine if it dropped it! At about 11am we heard this huge bang, the 4 of swung around towards where Stephen was sitting to see him legging it away from the windows. We then saw debris and glass falling. We wandered over to the windows and looked down to see the driver of the crane getting out of it and looking up and shaking his head - people along the street had all stopped what they were doing and looking up too. Before long police, fire engines and ambulance were everywhere cordoning off the area and we all decided to evacuate the building - no fire drills went off. Upon looking up we saw that part of the crane had broken, dropped its contents on the roof and swung down hitting the building when swinging down. No-one was hurt or injured but found out today that there was a man on the roof that had just dodged the crate falling in time. We all decided it was a good idea to go to the pub as could not do anything .. ah shame, but after about an hour one of the IT guys turned up and set us up at our other building up the road ... bugger. While walking to the pub though Kelly and I saw a guy on his skateboard cane it badly, and old lady fall over on her face - dislocating her thumb, cutting her head and chin, it was mad we thought gosh what could happen next. At the other building we head sirens and thought oh they must be for CI Towers but no .. the police car jumped the curb outside and a policeman got out and ran behind the casino shop. Then while walking home Kelly and I saw a couple of kids about 9 or 10yrs having a full on fist fight over a bike and little scooter up the road from house. One kid had the little scooter in his hands and was trying to whack the other kid with it - some adults intercepted and broke them up, they had to restrain them pretty hard as they were feisty little things. MADNESS was it a full moon on Saturday???
