PITTSBURGH -- At a joint press conference today, Mayor Luke Ravenstahl and County Executive Dan Onorato responded to queries regarding the collapse of a portion of the David Lawrence Convention Center. "That was totally heinous," Ravenstahl said. "Completely not cool, dudes." A large piece of the multi-million-dollar LEED Green-certified multi-named facility crashed 30 feet to the street below on Monday when a cherry-picker fell through the floor of the building. Ravenstahl expressed his empathy for the driver, who was not injured, but was stuck in the machine for about half an hour. "One time, I fell through the floor at the Delta Chi house and, man, it was intense," Ravenstahl said.
Onorato consoled concerned citizens with promises that someone would be fired.
"I assure you, someone will take the fall for this," Onorato said. "And I can further assure you, that person will be one of Luke's enemies." He then turned to Ravenstahl for a high five, chest bump and air guitar.
