Maybe they build them laying flat like that and then get a bunch of Amish guy to raise it with poles?

I know they have a reputation as manual labourers but I feel like you’re being unfair to the Poles.

Good luck getting the Amish to work with Poles.

Yeah, much easier to build all of it at ground level, then prop it up. Genius!

Scale is right, too. Just need to fix the rotation.
AgentSeven@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
I know, right? They must have built it really solidly.
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
seems like they should have driven in some pylons before the foundation, of course, the REAL worry now is what about all those other ones?
DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 2 months ago
You must build additional pylons.

That’s how it got knocked over, they built pylons, the damned Protoss moved in
HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 months ago
too many pylons, not enough struts

I mean since it’s a small percentage of ones that fall down. And this one’s already falling down and taking up that percentage. I wouldn’t even worry about the other ones.

I am absolutely certain that’s what the paperwork says :)

They skipped on the foundations and the ground was soft. The rest of the construction was fine or at least good enough to outlive the footings.

They dumped the tailings behind the building and it slid after heavy rain, toppling the building.

forgot foundations are a thing apparently.

That’s a different department.
