"parking" garage follies

Getting to work this morning was interesting. The highway came to a stop right next to the office. Was there a wreck? Maintenance? Nope... it was a helicopter landing on top of my parking garage, right where I leave the Element each morning!



It turns out that the window washers got stuck on the side of our building. Their rig got jammed on the 9th floor and one of the cables got shredded. Nobody was hurt and they got down A-OK from the looks of it, but I won't know the whole story until the news shows it later tonight. There were camera crews all around the bottom of our building along with almost a dozen various emergency vehicles.

The helicopter took back off and the excitement ended while we were halfway through our 10a morning meeting. I got these cel-cam pics out of the meeting room window.

Edit: The local TV station and the newspaper both picked up the story.
