Piano moving is NOT rocket science

The combination of three photographs shows spectators watching a piano fall and break into pieces after it was dropped off a seven story building by students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, April 21, 2005. The event coincides with the last day for students to drop classes in the spring semester. REUTERS/Brian Snyder

1. that is absolutely terrible

I feel like I just watched someone twist the head off a puppy.

2. Wow, our last day to withdraw was 5 weeks ago!

MIT must be making liberals out of all of them, if they can drop a course 2 weeks before it's over :P

4. Holy Shit! I could have used that piano!

Please someone tell me that it wasn't a functioning piano... hard to tell from the pic.

5. Looks like it was already trashed.

You can probably pick up a refurbed baby grand on the cheap if you guys have room.

8. I have the room, but will probably pick up a spinet instead...

someday (hopefully long from now) I will inherit my father's Steinway baby grand. It's been four years now that I've been without a piano myself... silly me, I didn't feel like moving it from NY and the people buying my house wanted it.

6. That's such an original way to get rid of a piano, they should have

done it like my dad's university, have him play it while it rolls down the street, drunk, at about 6 am on a Sunday morning :D

9. LOL, really? Too funny.

Where did it end up?

This was late 60's England, apparently these sorts of thing were looked over
