Whoops!
Last week, a construction crew was working along the bank of the Nashua River, where a river walk is being constructed. While the river is ice covered now, it's not frozen solid. This small piece of equipment got too close to the edge and started to slide into the water.
A large crane was also working in the area, a hook was put on the smaller equipment to help steady it.

There's always something happening and we certainly have a great view from the very large windows, a benefit of living in this repurposed mill structure.
Thanks, everyone, for the birthday 🎂 wishes. We had an adventuresome NH getaway to celebrate, details and photos will be posted next week. A(nother) snowfall is predicted here over the weekend.
Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
Always be very careful of thin ice

...construction Whoops can be deadly!
Looks like they were still working away, even with that little equipment slide. Have a great weekend and hope you don't get too much snow.
It’s amazing to me how often incidences like this happen. You would think that trained construction crews would not flirt with danger in this way, wouldn’t you? Imagine the call to the office, “Hey, Boss, you’ll never believe what just happened…..”
Yikes that's scary, not sure I would want to be standing that close to the edge. Will be nice when they get this project done though. YOu'll have a nice place to walk and people watch.

Your window is a front row seat to a lot of interesting doings.
if I had your view I would right now be sitting with laptop in lap looking out to see what is happening now and next. wow
You had some excitement.
Great capture on the equipment slide. But, so glad no one was hurt. We lose people on the ice on our river, often a child, far too frequently. The city posts warnings, but it still happens.
You sure do have a great view! Have a beautiful weekend!
That would be frightening, sinking into ice cold water. You sure do have an interesting view.
I adore your window on the world. The photos arewonderful.

Great to see your view of life as it's happening there. Scary construction driver, wonder if he even has a drivers license.
I'm glad I wasn't the driver of what looks like a front-end loader. Hope he or she is okay.
You guys got quite the bird's eye view of the whole incident. Glad nobody and no equipment was hurt. :)
Yikes! It would be like an action T.V. show to look out your window!! Reality T.V.!
Whoops Indeed!
Pleased you enjoyed your getaway.
Enjoy your weekend.
All the best Jan
Imagine how the driver must have felt going down towards that water!
Funny and not funny!
Not surprising the vehicle slipped into the water since it looks like it had come down a steep slope.
Having a new walkway sounds awesome-great views from your windows too I love looking out our large windows here as well
Happy weekend and new week

Great that you captured this scene so well.
CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCIDENTS, THERE ARE ALWAYS MORE DURING THE WINTER. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE PICTURES!!
I am glad everyone was okay. That looked very scary. Another Happy Birthday from me. I'm looking forward to seeing your celebratory getaway photos.
I would love to live high up and watch the world go round! You are lucky to have such great views. Our views are great, too but oh so boring.
That must have been quite a sight to witness from your window! Glad to hear the operator and equipment were safe—definitely a reminder of how unpredictable icy conditions can be. Looking forward to seeing photos from your NH getaway. Stay warm and enjoy the snowfall this weekend! ❄️
Belated birthday wishes Beatrice. You do see some interesting happenings from your window!
That's some crazy times and right outside your front door.
Thank goodness nobody was injured.
It's cold up your way...and hot down my way!! Take good care. :)
