So, uh, how exactly did they put this together? Did each one of them haul a couple of bricks, get on the train, quickly slap it together, and get off?
[QUOTE=The Janitor;47647706]I'm guessing they are maintained by a contracting company which can charge whatever they want for the smallest job. I know that my work paid somewhere between $500 to $1000 for an electrician to come and switch a breaker because a safety switch tripped.[/QUOTE] 1$ for switching it, and 499$ for knowing which one and how to.
[QUOTE=Cutthecrap;47651620]1$ for switching it, and 499$ for knowing which one and how to.[/QUOTE] Well I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to figure out which one it is if all the breakers were in the same orientation except one.

Typically this means you lose your job. Coupled with the potential to make things worse and make you liable for damages for not following protocol, it's just not worth it. Plus I mean it's the city's money, who cares.

the fucking freemasons are at it again
Not knowing what the U-Bahn was (because I'm Canadian), I assumed this was gonna be a story about a bunch of goofs building a wall in the middle of the autobahn raceway thing in an effort to bring NASCAR-level entertainment to Europe. I wasn't disappointed though, building a brick wall in a subway train doorway is fucking hilarious to me for some reason.
I am astound to how and why this happen? Don't they have security cameras in the subway there? Certainly they would know who would lug a ton of bricks into the train.
The article says they did it overnight while the train was in a depot.
12 hours to remove it? Do Germans not know about Sledge hammers?
