how can you possibly call this video a waste of time. do you have any idea how many fathers might not have gone home to their families that day?

what does this video actually show? Might be an important issue but the video is a waste of time!

guys!! its almost as if you dont realize concrete is mad of rock and sand, and on top of that , something falling from 9 stories up could you know...kinda hurt? equipment can pose problems that become life threatening, yeah no one was hurt, and nothing got destroyed, so that means this is a waste of time? right. totally makes sense. amywankette knows whats up they have the right idea.
