Stingraysays...You're right, I didn't expect that.
Stingraysays...*wheels
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Wheels) - requested by Stingray.
Trancecoachsays...I did.. those trucks are heavy and those parking structures aren't meant to carry that kind of weight, combined with the weight of the snow.

Porksandwichsays...Hell that thing is meant to hold up many more cars than that. It's probably lack of repairs for years around drains..and one just gave out. There's a school my dad's family asphalt business used to do repair work for and they had a massive underground pipe and drain system. In places you could climb down 20 feet to reach the bottom of one of these drains. Due to them being concrete the salt would eat away at the top supporting the grate and the rim outside the grate hole...so eventually the top would cave in. That thing could swallow either end of a car fairly easily. Saw one even try to eat a bus when the side wall of it caved in and all the surrounding stone and asphalt was eroded into the resulting hole.
They used to have us do repairs on these, until one year someone on the board (who had a business interest) complained and got them to give him the concrete work (it's a pretty horrible job to fix, but hey it's money). The guy repaired them, they failed a year later...since he just put new concrete on top settled on a base of weak and salt eaten concrete....when he should have replaced the whole thing with an entirely new pre-cast top so it wouldn't twist and break and crumble in.
If they don't build these structures to support much higher weights than your typical car...some pickup trucks can rival the weight of an unloaded dump truck and would result in the same failure in all structures.
