[SML] Rio Olympics rigging opps

[Michael Sauder]

Seen those aerial shots of the Olympic Park? Taken from a sky camera
suspended a couple hundred feet above the ground, between towers that
are... 2,000' feet apart? (I'm guessing). I've been wondering for the past
three weeks how safe it was.

Yeah, that camera fell.

Remarkably, despite falling in a heavily trafficked area the camera itself
didn't hit anyone. The cables did hit a couple women, but not (too)
seriously.

It is another crazy windy day, don't know if that's related.
