Witnesses said the collapse at Swanston Street in central Melbourne sounded like a thunderstorm, Nine News reported.[/QUOTE]
Humpty-Dumpty got his revenge. "Fuck this wall!"
-nevermind-
It was really scary, I walked past that wall earlier today before it happened, then came back to see the entire street sectioned off by police. It is really horrible, I hope the third person is ok.

Do police release the names of victims in this kind of event?

How the hell to you mess up building a wall when you're professional construction workers? [QUOTE]"It was really bad. It was like a war zone. "There was dust everywhere and they were trying to dig people out. It was like chaos," he said.[/QUOTE]

Ahhh Australia, where even the walls are out to get you.

Pretty much go past here daily. Although never noticed the brick wall. Was it behind a fence or something?

[QUOTE=Mlisen14;40068659]No it's next to the big Grocon plywood fence. Next door to the Queensberry Hotel.[/QUOTE] Is it the wall on the Melbourne Central side of the Queensberry Hotel? The one that's covered in posters and shit?

He was probably exercising but didn't have the strength to just break through the wall

[QUOTE=sltungle;40068678]Is it the wall on the Melbourne Central side of the Queensberry Hotel? The one that's covered in posters and shit?[/QUOTE] I blame the posters for putting too much weight on the wall. [sp]Wait, this sounds like I'm describing Facepunch peak times[/sp]

Hell, I almost walked past it yesterday but took a tram down Elizabeth instead. Also stop staring at me, building 14! I'll get around to doing that physics assignment soon!
oh lawd it's weird knowing there are so many facepunchers at my uni now
[QUOTE=someguyihate;40069382]oh lawd it's weird knowing there are so many facepunchers at my uni now[/QUOTE] What course are you doing? Double degree in nanotechnology and Applied Physics, bitch. Building 14 master race.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;40069753]and yet there is no fucking brisbane fp'ers world sucks[/QUOTE] Think again! Watching the video in the source gave me a better idea of the scale of that wall. Hope the third person comes out okay.
I didn't know the Kool-Aid man visited Australia...
