Was standing on 53rd Street in Manhattan last night..... Letterman's ski jump
Saw the jump that went bad. It was a pretty radical setup. Short, steep ramps, man-made snow, lots of lighting. Trouble was, it got REALLY cold after they sprayed the snow. It went crusty, and got real hard. After the accident, they disassembled that thing as fast as they could. Problem was, the snow was like cement, and there was a LOT of chopping with big steel bars and picks and fire axes.
Didn't think it was that big a deal until the news this morning. Of course, the show was replaced last night with a re-run. A great re-run.
