Windy shitty

Apparently we were all almost killed by a falling theater marquee. Mission Local reports:

Police closed off a block of Mission Street, between 20th and 21st street, as a safety precaution because a metal sheet from the Tower Theater sign was flapping from the wind.

“It was flapping like a flag,” said ice cream vendor, Magdaleno Gutierrez. “It would have killed someone.”

Firefighters arrived sometime after 1:30 p.m. and placed ropes to hold together the roughly 30 foot-long metal sign, according to a Department of Traffic and Parking employee on the scene.

I don’t see what the big deal was. I was in the park all afternoon and it was perfectly pleasant. Read on.

    Seems like blighty ancient tall theater signs don’t last forever, I guess. Compare to this incident earlier this year in the richmond:
