At least two somebodies are NUTS.To walk on that
disaster waiting to happen.


Yep. Made me queasy just watching the video


I was going to reach for the Dramamine.

Did anyone notice if there was *any* kind of reinforcement in that concrete,
something that would handle the tensile loads between the steel beams?
Whatever it was, with all the holes in the concrete, it wasn't spaced
closely enough to do anything. It looked like the concrete's tensile
strength (which approaches zero) was all that stood between someone walking
over it and disaster.
