The Wind Atop Altitude 25



Courtesy of Andrew Pelling, here is the sound of the wind atop Altitude 25.

As he notes, high rise buildings are not the answer to Croydon's housing needs. Additionally aside from being windy at the top, these high rise buildings actually exacerbate the wind at street level.

Crane Collapse

My commiserations to the seriously injured driver of the crane, that collapsed onto the roof of the Croydon Park Hotel on Saturday, I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

It is at least some relief that there seem to have been no other serious injuries.

This website has a very good series of photos showing the collapse in real time:

One piece of friendly advice to Altitude 25 and their associates Howard Holdings, who are the building site developers, it may be wise to publish some information on your websites about the collapse together with a note of sympathy to the driver.

As at this time, there is no mention of the collapse on either of the sites.
