[Marcus.]

Oh sugar.

[Shaun]

Sounds like something from a Final Destination movie :worry: How awful.

Edit: I assumed she'd died. How on earth do you survive that :unsure:

[JoshBB]

Oh my god, hope she is okay... :worry:

[arista]

Yes Shaun

But this type of Heavy Digital Sign needs
its own Stands as "extra back up."

If that was my lady
I would track the Sign owner
and Pick him up
then Drop him.

[Livia]

Wouldn't it be ironic if it was an ad for a no-win-no-fee legal firm?

Hope she's okay.

I hope she walk soon.


I will post updates when they come in

[Shaun]

Another thing capitalism is to blame for!!!!! [/leftyposts]

I hope that they can find a way to help her. The company that put that up should be sued.

Not that it is of the biggest importance (because the most important thing is that she is okay), but I really hope they release the names of whatever group/company is responsible.

[Marsh.]

****ing hell! How far did it fall?

[Marsh.]

I'm no construction expert but even I wouldn't have thought those tiny old bricks could hold that amount of weight. :umm2:

No Shaun it may have been a Labour Sign in Digital.



This is 100%
the fault of the Company that Bolts it to the wall

[arista]

Very Long Bolts through lots of bricks


But it should have had 2 long supports
as Back up

[arista]

****ing hell! How far did it fall?

From the Second Floor of the Age Concern Charity shop

[Cherie]

Oh shoot

So nice to see you back Marcus.

She is Lucky to be alive!

[Ammi]

..wow poor lady, how awful, you would never think when you were just walking a long a street that anything like that could ever happen...I'm glad that she survived it and hope she recovers well...

Its on a Corner

[Kizzy]

Poor woman :( the home/business affected looks in pretty poor shape too :/

[Northern Monkey]

OMG!Where there's blame......

[user104658]

This reminds me of a girl I went to school with, who was in a shop and a TV (a massive old-style CRT one!) fell from a wall bracket, landed on her head and knocked her out cold. She actually got quite a bit of compensation £££ for that...

[AnnieK]

Awful thing. To happen. Hope she recovers ok.

My nan was in a shop once and the floor collapsed.... She was 85 and ended up with a compound fracture. She got no compensation as the shop was not insured (this was some years ago). She was on the local news and everything....she was most upset that 1) the fire brigade had to cut her clothes off the rescue her and 2) she didn't get her change for what she was buying. :laugh: bless.
