Vulture

Last Friday saw a tower crane collapse on a building site at a school not far from where I live which, sadly, caused two fatalities. Yesterday evening I went past the scene and it is an unpleasant sight - the carne involved was still there and looks as if its jib was made of spaghetti.

To my disgust, one woman was standing over the road looking at it all and busily taking photographs. Judging from the kit she was using, she wasn't a press photographer, so I can only assume the pictures were intended as some kind of macabre souvenir. Sick...
