Went again yesterday, mostly picked up bits of pots and found an intact pipe bowl, struggled to find one last time, its only a cheap one so I am in awe of the one someone else in the group found (theres always one... lucky bastards)
Didn't see this post. That's Nicky White...she does amazing things with foreshore finds, very talented.
My guess is that it's probably more to do with keeping people away from the scene. Given the number of "Jump, you bastard" scenarios we've seen where people have been up on high buildings, etc., the emergency services probably took the wise decision to avoid the possibility of that even occurring. Not to mention the risk of accidents in the road from people slowing down to take a look, or even stopping to find out what is going on.Wonder why they shut the Bridge though. Give them the slighest chance to do it, and they relish it.
Thing is, suppose the grenade had been live, and had exploded. OK, to be fair, a grenade isn't likely to be lethal over that big a distance, but I suspect they take the view that under no circumstances should the public be put at any risk whatsoever. If those precautions weren't taken, the grenade went off, and someone was injured, there would be a lot of inquiries, investigations, and second-guessing about why they didn't keep the public further back, so I suppose they aim very much to err on the side of caution.
I've seen these but what are they actually in aid of?
Where is here?
Plus other drinks you could purchase from the bar.
