i just had to go for a work and do some shit for work anyway, was walking past the Swisshotel on market street heard a massive bang from the monorail thought wtf was that, turn around one of the wheels had snapped of the monorail and there was a tour bus dropping off tourists to the hotel. The wheel that fell of clocked one of the workers on the head in the jaw region probably knocked out a couple of teeth and he was spitting blood out everywhere, i mean what are the chances of this happening.
By the time i got back they had an ambo there to treat him.
There wheels are about the size maybe a bit bigger than the ones on a garbage wheelie bin but looked to be solid metal, with rubber round the outside

i didn't get hit, just some random bloke that works at the hotel, i can assure you he'll probably get compo either workers or from the monorail copany, not like they have any money to give though.
Yes rob i remember that other dodgy character and his compo claim.

Must say though, he's pretty lucky to get whacked in the head like that and still be conscious..

yeah not the kinda thing i expected to see on a rather mundane walk to the tax office, makes me think a don't walk under or near the monorail two don't ride on the fucker cos one day its gonna run out of wheels and just fall off itself. Tell you what think it scared the shit out of a few of the jap tourists coming of the bus
