    tornados in downtown atlanta

    in Off the Wall Archives

    Posted

    Do you remember a fire there about 9 years ago? It was during the renovation. There was a man on top of a crane and he was trapped by the flames and they did a helicopter rescue off of the top of it. I was about 2 miles away when they did that and watched the whole thing out of a high-rise window. Was pretty amazing to see the guy grab onto a rescuer and get lifted off of the crane by helicopter.

     

    THAT's the reason I didn't want to live at the Cotton Mill Lofts.

     

    Edit: One good thing that came of this.. it probably washed all of the hypodermics out of Olympic Park! Now it's family friendly again!

     

     

    i dont "remember" the fire cause i wasnt here, but they just showed the footage of that on one of those "real video" shows on spike or some channel. that was crazy. his shoes were melting to the crane as the helicopter was trying to pluck him off.

     

    and lol about washing Olypmic park. they were showing clips of all the "storm caused" debris downtown, and all i could think was "thats what downtown looks like everyday!" at least now there is a reason to go pick all the garbage up.

     

    its messed up that cabbage town got hit. it had JUST been revitalized by the local hipster movement. there are vinyl records and leg warmers everywhere.

     

     

    edit: whats up with my use of quotes in this post?... :thumbsup:

    If I remember his location correctly, DrDank would have had a REALLY good view of this storm, and not on a computer screen. Just sayin'.

     

    Stay safe down there, y'all.

     

     

    Indeed, i was IN the storm all night. GREAT lightening show, although it lasted until almost 6am *yawn*

     

    ive never had so much lightening hit so close over and over. it was LOUD, but pretty rad.

    id hit it.

     

    and whether she is worth $5k is up to a couple of variables.

     

    such as: what does $5k really mean to me? and, what is she willing to do for $5k?

     

    i can think of somethings id do to her that she'd probably need $5k for

    Here's a story from a year or two ago. At the Bills game, anthem going, 3 young guys next to me refuse to stand, just sit there. Well right after the anthem, the usher comes over because they are in the wrong seats, they should be one section over. As they go by me, the last guy goes by, I gave him a hard push in the back and he stumbles over the next 2 seats. I'm yelling to "next time stand for the anthem MF's". You should have seen all the support I got then from the locals around my seats. I had 3 beers bought for me during that game :beer:

     

    But I also wouldn't recommend any one do that. It was stupid and I got have easily ended up on the bad end of that altercation

     

    please dont ever go to another Bills game again.

    The version of Catch-22 was in Portugese. the people in the arctic listening station were Brazilian. any meaning? who knows...

     

    and here is a link to the screen cap of the desk picture...

     

    mother time indeed

     

    edit: another tidbit i just picked up from another board: the name of the wine that the monks were bottling was Moriah Vineyards. Moriah is the mountain range where Abraham took his son Isaac to sacrifice him to prove his devotion to god. Looks like Desmond's main purpose is all about sacrifice.

    B.S they are not any harder working then we are in general, that’s a myth. If that was truth their county would not be in economic ruin. They would have worked hard in driving out corruption.

     

    Just because brainwashed self haters think Mexicans are harder workers than us (BTW,talk about a racist statement in itself) it gives them the right to break our immigration laws?

     

     

    i dont see all the out of work white and black Americans lining up outside Home Depot, willing to take ANY and ALL jobs offered to them. and most of the guys outside the Home Depots around here have regular 40hr/week jobs doing construction or landscaping. and theyre STILL out there looking for more work.

     

    Meanwhile, 2 blocks away are Projects full of "citizens" collecting government checks...

     

    The majority of Mexicans i see/know down here in Atlanta work 3 times the hours, at labor intensive jobs, for $8/hr. If they are lucky.

    I dont know any citizens working that hard.
