Parking Garage Tragedy Claims the Lives of Four Cars
Thursday, August 9th, 2007
Not only are bridges across the nation crumbling, but now our government buildings are collapsing in the middle of the day. The courtyard of Columbia Plaza leads to the State Department’s SA-1 building, and yesterday afternoon its outdoor ceiling collapsed onto panicked drivers below. No one was hurt, but several cars were damaged and the ground floor entrance will be closed for the remainder of the week. First Lady Laura Bush immediately showed up on the scene to calm the victims and join the survivors in a moment of silent prayer for the lost cars. President Bush is expected to tour the site this weekend, and in a press conference today he express deep concern about the tragedy, immediately attacked congressional Democrats for not providing enough plaza ceiling oversight, and then announced his intention to veto any parking garage roof tax increases. Full State Dept. notification after the jump!
