Nice Parking Garage
Just in time for the re-opening of Area Four:
This chunk of drain pipe just missed crushing two officers walking to their cars.

The pipe was probably loosened by a lifted Jeep with a blue line Punisher tire cover, an FOP medallion on the LE Memorial plate, and a checkered hat band on the mirror.
Is that not supposed to be like that?

Has anyone really taken a good look at that garage? The structure looks incredibly dangerous. It appears as though it could collapse at any time possibly crushing or trapping any police officers that are in there. I wouldn’t park in there. Especially in the lower level.
Damn COVID-19! It's affecting everything!
(And it's Trump's fault! Now send us some federal money!)

Chicago, The City that works!
OK...
#1 What's the Over/Under on how long it stays that way?
#2 Is it essential?
# 3 Where are you safer a PD garage or on the streets?
Shit rolls down hill.
Was any Jeep hurt in the making of this video?
Where was that pipe made? Mexico or China?
Looks safe to me! The pipe fell, gravity worked and the floor stopped it. What more do you want? Greedy bastards!
This is Chicago after all... Be grateful the gravity worked per normal since David 'the Moon Shooter' Brown is now here.
The Moon's gravity is 1/6th (16.7%) of the Earth's gravity after all...
Did the PPE issued keep the officers safe from falling overhead pipes? DID IT? Those wonder masks are miracle workers...
I have heard of some down and out persons 'hitting the pipe' and ruining their lives as a result. I think is is another sort pipe hitting, a different variety.
So much fun in Chicago!
Too bad the pipe did not land on a plastic bag on the ground... If it did, that would make it a bagpipe.
The jokes are as high quality as the installation of and the metal in the parking garage pipes themselves folks. Chicago way!
That is one nightmare of a PIPE DREAM!
Piper's Alley is in Chicago... It used to be up in Old Town. Who knew it moved to that garage. My how this city changes...
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it! Assuming you can kneel down to ground level to light it...
Is that the same piping in Pritzker's mansion which was disconnected so he did not have to pay taxes on that multi million dollar locale due to lack of "working" indoor plumbing? Just checking...
From Moonshots to Pipe Falls... Chicago has it all!
At least there was no in clear violation of social distancing house party happening directly below the pipe... That might have been a disaster!
venecko plumbing and undertaking will be on the scene monday morning. under her worship groots new unlimited,unrestricted, absolute and total emergency powers a ten million dollar no bid contract has been issued to fix that pipe. venecko plumbing issued a statement that it should be fixed by noon, the only limiting factor being how long it takes the two homeless guys to get the new plastic pipe from the home depot on north avenue to the area on their shopping cart. a spokesperson for the mayor said failure is not an option and the safety of our polices is our highest priority.
If a city inspector seen that going on with a residential or commercial property it would be game over. But OKAY for Chicago!
Watch out, that’s a poop bio-hazard there from the sewage pipe. Considering what has gone thru A/4 over the years not only would the Coronavirus be there but every plague virus from the Middle Ages. Protect yourselves with your PPE equipment!!!!
So now the toilets will drain directly into garage. Those union guys sure do good work.
That could have been an ugly accident. It's almost as if the parking lot is a CHA high rise, gotta look up as you enter or get hit in the head by falling objects. I nearly caught one in the head walking into Stateway Gardens, 1997. The job was still an adventure back then, a young copper actually looked forward to going to work. Now, not at all.
Only the best for chicago's finest.
Just wait until they get even more goofs in the trades who don't know how to count. Some of the so called leaders seem to think it's a remedial program for the stupid.
Wait till the additional bodies of detectives hit the newly reopened Area 4 on Thursday. Things will be getting more crowded for parking and locker space.
Horizontal pipes in parking garages only last 10-15 years unless properly maintained. "Properly maintained" is the key phrase.
The Cops hurt would have been blamed on the Virus and Trump
Ahhh...the legacy of Bonnie Amado and Building Services! Only the best people!
I guess if it ain't broke, you don't fix it.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
That's deferred maintenance right there. Remember the fire alarm system that did not work when there was a fire?
Ah those connected Unions, always doing good work!
Is that the 009th district garage?
The mayor and governor are looking into establishing a gravity tax, for anything that falls to the earth in the city & state. A new gravity committee will be formed to reflect the community of people who weigh heavily in the world of graviry(Large people) with 15% merit .
The dad jokes thus far are on point. Keep’em coming!! And the rest of you? PIPE DOWN would ya!? Trying to read these pipe jokes.
Send inspectors and OSHA. This place should be demolished.
Little plumbers tape and it'll be good as new.

Even the hair gel coppers laughed at that one! Hilarious!

Remember after that, Jug ears reneged on his promise, saying there aren’t any shovel-ready jobs, but the democrat controlled boot licker lapdog media never called him on that.

Sounds like a job for Prickster Plumbing and Wrecking Crew.
What kind of Drain Pipe? Fresh water? Sewer water? Need to wear helmets in all garages now!
Accident or Sabotage? Need Forensic Services to do Metallurgical Analysis of pipe.
Typical. Maybe Frog Princess should have used that 200K of taxpayer money to replace and repair the failing infrastructure of municipal buildings like this instead of blowing it on rainbow flags and avant-garde lesbian artwork in her personal office makeover.
Ain’t that some shit.
Some inspectional services outfit this city has, which by the way is suppose to be regularly checking outdoor parking structures, tunnels, bridges. Wonder who signed off on that.
Larri ain’t got no money for repairs this year or next, gonna shut it down and y’all gonna gotta park on the street like regular folk.
What’s the big deal. You act like you never saw a pipe fall before. At least a pillar didn’t give way.
How soon we forget 1121 S State.
Many years of going to court there, I would park and cut through the district. I refused to use the staircase made of grates because I thought it was going to collapse like a bad, rusty fireescape. I would walk down the ramps. Some people gave me dirty looks because they had to wait for 30 seconds. I'd make sure no one was pulling in. A couple of times I got some dirty looks when someone flew into the lot and they had to wait about 15 seconds.

What's the wire inside the pipe?
Looks like a cleanout connection with some kind of cable going in the end.
Probably where they snaked the video feed cable for the surveilance cameras that look like sprinkler heads.
Pipe down. Detectives were ready to close out a case but the OT rule just ruined this caper. New shift RWOCing,!!
Been a Shithole since I retired in 1980
Good thing that noncorroding plastic pipes have been illegal in Chicago for 70 years (for that usage - commercial building, exterior, exposed, etc). Thank you Chicago Plumbers Union!
That lot has been a crumbling mess for YEARS. It’s actually par for the neighborhood. Enter and park your car at your own risk.

Omg this is great!!!
Another find construction project by Welsh construction !!!!
It was getting in sad shape when I was there in 95-96
Maybe that pipe is from China. Bet it’s not ISO certified either.
Porta potty’s being delivered tomorrow.
i hope the "albany inn" is still structurally sound.

How about it. I've been there over 20 years and I feel the same way about those stairs to this day, they just dont appear safe, but I've learned to trust them.
Ugh! How, blue shirt! moke Em... Peace Pipe? ~ Chief Falling Steel
Flying lead on the streets... Falling lead in the garages.
This city is a shithole
How many no-show jobs is that pipe contract worth........

If true, you got the fund for 40 years and counting! You are sure deserving of respect and congratulations. You must be the winner, winner of the chicken dinner!

The sprinkler cam cables are run inside the sprinkler pipes. There is no external cable.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE!! Now back to important issues... NOBODY is to have more than 1 locker in the locker room, final notice! Also, NOBODY but Spencer's front office harem are allowed to park on the ground level of the garage! Those spots are reserved solely for the front office girls (once most of them get back from "IOD" from covid) Amazing how such shitty little things make useless fucks feel important.
