🔩 The Great A490 Structural Bolt Caper of 1987 🔩

Posted by Guillaume Lachapelle on

🔩 The Great A490 Structural Bolt Caper of 1987 🔩 Back in the 80s, a construction crew working on a high-rise in New York City ran into a bizarre problem—their brand-new A490 structural bolts kept disappearing overnight. At first, they blamed supplier shortages. Then, they suspected job-site theft. But the real culprit? 🧐 Turns out, a group of mischievous pigeons had taken a liking to the shiny bolts and were flying off with them, stashing them in a nearby rooftop! 🐦🔩 The crew only realized this when an ironworker caught a pigeon mid-flight, proudly clutching a bolt in its beak. The investigation led to a hidden stash of over 200 A490 bolts—enough to make even the most experienced structural engineer question gravity. Moral of the story? When your bolts go missing, don't just blame inventory errors… sometimes, even the birds are getting into the fastener business. {hashtag|\#|StructuralBolts} {hashtag|\#|A490} {hashtag|\#|ConstructionFails} {hashtag|\#|PigeonHeist} {hashtag|\#|FastenerFun} {hashtag|\#|LightningBolts}
