It sounds as if one of the pillars supporting that end of the

I don't think a hard hat would have been much use if that lot had
landed on your head.

Also on BBC News tonight: *"The leaning tower of Pisa has stopped moving for

make a name for itself as the leaning bridge of Shoreditch.

Does the bridge sit on existing pillars or are they new?

This sounds like very bad news for the ELL - two other bridges were
craned in in the last few weeks. could it also have ramifications for
other bridge builds, and for longer term railway projects, as craning
in bridges is used to reduce disruption costs?
