This is a video from Saratov, Russia of a work crew removing some very large icicles from the front of a building. Now I’m not sure what they expected to happen, but exactly what I expected to happen happened, and that building is going to need a couple new awnings now. No word if these guys will be the same group responsible for installing those awnings, but I can’t wait to watch that video either.

Keep going for the video, but skip to around 0:40 for the action while I speculate whey they didn’t try solving this problem with some good old fashioned fire.
