Yes, and I don't share their sensibilities.
Just this photo makes me want to hide somewhere very close to the ground, maybe even under.
I'd like to see the rest of a zoomed out perspective. There is a chance it's above a other floor. And it's really only like 13 feet up
Maybe, but it seems unlikely that any kind of aircraft would be flying that low through a populous area.
Oh oops, my comment was supposed to reply to the other picture of the works sitting on the I beam
Ah, that is somewhat more plausible.
A 13 foot drop is still easily enough to kill you. People have died from only a 6 foot drop.
Oh sure! But the survival of a 13ft drop is wayyyyyyyyy greater than almost hitting terminal velocity and landing on concrete below.
