Seems like a major construction accident in Mueller. 2 cranes collided, 3 structures collapse, over 20 injured.

Three structures collapsed and over 20 people injured doesn't seem that bad?

mate i really really really don't think he's referring to that aspect of it

The news article made it's way to Bay Area news outlets lol

clubtokyo · #**528** Posted **Sep 16, 2020, 7:28 PM**

It was on CNNs main website

H2O · #**529** Posted **Sep 16, 2020, 7:40 PM**

The article does not say three structures collapsed. Maybe it was updated from the initial call which described it as a crane collapse? The cranes have not collapsed. I can see them from my bedroom window. Word in the 'hood is that nobody was seriously injured from anything falling. Ironically, apparently the crew was conducting a safety meeting below the crane swings when they collided. The injuries were the result of panic in reaction to the collision overhead. At one point, it was reported that EMS was attempting to rescue the crane operator in the cab. The KXAN article now says that he is remaining in the cab with his foot on the brake to prevent the crane from collapsing until the crane company can respond to untangle the two cranes.

No pressure there. Glad people are OK.

It doesn't match the initial alert that went out of cranes and 3 structures collapsing. As in it's not as bad as initially reported.

Oh hell yes. That is perfect. I'm such a huge sucker for a well-done curvy corner building like that.

enragedcamel · #**537** Posted **Dec 25, 2020, 11:58 PM**

Man I really do think all these low/mid-rises are a waste in Mueller. Wish the zone allowed for 300 ft or even higher. It's the perfect location for a mini downtown IMO.

clubtokyo · #**538** Posted **Dec 26, 2020, 6:02 AM**

I like this! Love the curves!

lonewolf · #**539** Posted **Dec 28, 2020, 2:57 PM**

This is exactly the kind of project I want to see everywhere. It's an absolutely generic design but the scale and function is exactly what we need. Built to human scale. Retail on ground floor. Be it paris, london, or cities of the med...the most picturesque and sought after neighborhoods on this planet consists of buildings (albeit more tasteful) exactly like this.

As a Mueller resident, I can tell you while I love dense urban environments, we do not need 300+ ft towers in Mueller, and it's not the NIMBY reason you think. If you were to live here for a week you'd understand why very quickly. In both the downtown areas of Austin and in the suburban areas of Austin, the city streets are much wider than in Mueller. It's not just a matter of traffic, but buildings feel much closer to one another here than in downtown.

I think what we have now is a good compromise between density and a livable scale.
