I can't even begin to image.
I'm sure the gate was loose prior to it falling. I don't know why it wasn't shored-up or repaired properly.

Should have never happened. I'm hearing the masonry fasteners were only 2-1/4" long. Deduct the thickness of the frame and that leaves about 2" of embedment. Sounds to me whoever installed it didn't know what they were doing.

Sweet Jesus. Someone is going to do some hard time for this one.

 

[jb4211]

Maybe, but that won't bring her back. Neither will a huge settlement.

 

[littlefred811]

Altogether too true.

I honestly think I would lose my fn mind.
