Shot 3/25/2011, with the SONY HDR-XR150 Camera (with SONY's imfamous "Auto Blur, uhh, Focus"), because I forgot the Flip, and I had this along for another video. Here's a dilapidated Dover Classic Freight Man-PoweredElevator, where I work, in Littleton, Massachusetts. What makes this much worse was, 2 feet of snow that was shoveled off the roof, blocked the MPE part of the deck, and another 5 feet pushing down on the railing, causing the MPE to be crushed under about 1 ton of snow. The end result is a very crooked and warped MPE, which is slated to be replaced (when, that's the mystery). "Shock Cam" shows the angle created by the crushing snow, causing a pillar to sink 6 inches into the ground. Yay.
