Beware falling concrete at BNE

[markis10]

ONLY luck ensured a freak incident at Brisbane Airport’s car park has claimed no lives.


A part of the domestic terminal’s elevated P2 car park collapsed about 4:30pm Thursday, sending a huge slab of concrete down on to an exit ramp at ground level.


Brisbane Airport Corporation confirmed no injuries or damage to property resulted from the incident.


A shocked woman, who had driven down the ramp moments before the concrete came crashing down, told The Courier-Mail two vehicles could easily have been hit.

Very lucky that nobody was injured/killed

Not the sort of thing you expect to see in a "developed" country FWIW.

Wow, lucky no one was hit!

This should not be happening in Australia. Not with the high cost for labour and materials.

Ah but its a country that tends to award contracts to the lowest tender.

Says the woman that works in a building that has weekly fire evacs due to faulty wiring and one of the elevators is out of order every single week.
