When I was in High School we were lucky we had a gym. A couple of roll-out 'bleachers' and that was it...

And you thought you had a bad day at work. Shocking video captured the moment a massive jumbotron scoreboard slipped from its harness as workers installed it in a high school gymnasium and it shattered into pieces on the wooden basketball court below. The giant machine was seen tumbling down after one of the cables holding it came loose as it was being hoisted to the ceiling at O’Fallon Township High School in southern Illinois, as part of a gym renovation.
The jumbotron fell to the floor of the gym and shattered into pieces. Nevco, the firm installing the jumbotron, said that repairs will begin in two to three weeks. It wasn’t clear exactly what day the board fell. O’Fallon High School is one of the largest in Illinois outside of the Chicago metro area, with over 2,500 students. 
 
So, ya wonder why your property taxes are so high? Could it be because somebody thought spending 90k on a big TV for high school kids was a good idea. Jeez, the way people piss away other people's money is scary...

That is one helluva great price for a big TV.
