    Default Parking Deck Collapses Downtown killing dozens...

    ...of cars!

    It adjoins several Georgia Tech buildings, where do you think the engineers went to school?

    Then it comes down the the owner refusing to listen to engineers advising against the location because of whatever sewer or water system Atlanta built under the property 50-100 years ago. Who wants to bet that's what it is lol!

    Early reports are saying that a Cavalier was drift-racing in the parking deck. The shear amount of down-force created by the Andy's Auto Sport rear wing put too much pressure on the structure causing it to collapse.

    I just find it kind of crazy that they still aren't sure what caused it. I mean, you don't really here about non-rundown structures just collapsing on their own. And no I don't think some crazy conspiracy involving foul play is involved, I'm just saying, weird.

    i guess your insurance co will give you a rental car

    "Were you involved in an accident?"

    "no"

    "Is your car stolen?"

    "nope"

    "Did is break down?"

    "no, not mine..but other cars did -BREAK WHILE FALLING DOWNWARD-"
