Pigeon Droppings Blamed for Awning Collapse
« on: December 22, 2008, 12:38:14 PM »
YUMA, Ariz. - Sheriff's deputies in Yuma County, Ariz., are blaming pigeons for the partial collapse of a gas station awning.

The canopy at the Shell station in the foothills east of Yuma collapsed at midmorning Friday on top of a BMW and a Hummer, but no one was hurt.

Sheriff's Maj. Leon Wilmot says 4 to 5 inches of pigeon excrement had built up on top of the awning. He says it's likely that recent rains soaked the waste and the weight was too much for the structure.

Not surprising. The pigeons here are huge, they probably leave mounds like elephants do.

It would be funny if someone was actually killed by this. Well okay...maybe not funny but still something you would tell your grandkids at their birthday parties. :rofl: :twisted:
